Police have dropped an investigation into an online threat to JK Rowling, over her support for Salman Rushdie after he was attacked on stage.
The Harry Potter author, 57, had tweeted screenshots of a message stating: “Don’t worry, you are next.”
The same Twitter account had posted messages praising the man who stabbed Mr Rushdie in the US last month.
Police Scotland said the threat was made outside the UK and there would be “no further action at this time”….
The tweet, from an account in Pakistan, was later removed.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Following a report made to police regarding an online threat, enquiries have been carried out into this matter and it has been established that it was made outwith the UK.
“Enquiries are now complete and there is no further police action at this time.”…
