BOMB hoax callers who try to disrupt Scotland’s Olympic events could face up to seven years in jail, prosecutors have warned.

Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland promised a “tough prosecution stance” against anyone making hoax bomb or fire calls during the Games, adding: “The eyes of the world are on Great Britain, and Scotland will be a showcase for football competitions in Glasgow.”
