Three armed youths broke into two schools in Makkah and terrified some 1,500 pupils who were in their classes at the time. The youths, armed with knives, broke into Abu Ayub Al-Ansari Secondary School in the Al-Sharae district of Makkah on a motorcycle, attacking and robbing a canteen worker before fleeing. They returned a short time after that to attack the students and order them out of the school. The school's authorities reported the incident to the police, by which time another report was received saying that the same youths had broken into the nearby Al-Jahiz Secondary School. – Okaz __
