Manama High Scool bus in fatal accident reports NOT true

Unconfirmed reports circulating on social media that the Manama school bus was involved in an accident in the early hours of today have been dismissed as not true.

We spoke to a teacher from Manama who said, "the bus is in the garage right now."

He said the reports are false and he is wondering why people would circulate such falsehoods.

We are still investigating the incident.
 
Below is the message doing rounds on social media.

"If you have a child at Manama high school, call the school ASAP.

"There has been a fatal accident as children were from sports at sihwaba.

"Some children dead some burnt, their bus caught fire early hours of today.

"Contact the school asap."
