Three Universities Evacuated Because of Threats - ABCNEWS
By COLLEEN CURRY, GINA SUNSERI, and RICHARD ESPOSITO Sept. 14, 2012
A trio of universities, including the University of Texas, were evacuated this morning after individuals called in bomb threats.
The University of Texas in Austin evacuated all of its campus buildings after a man claiming to be affiliated with Al Qaeda called in a bomb threat, according to a message sent to students by university officials.
The campus notified students shortly after 10 a.m. today to get as far away from campus buildings as possible after a man with a "Middle Eastern" accent called and said there were bombs on campus.
The call came in shortly after 8:30 a.m., according to police. The caller said the bombs would go off within 90 minutes, according to the message sent to students. The bomb did not go off after 90 minutes and sources told ABC News that the bomb squad was not called. Police then began to search all of the UT buildings.
North Dakota State University in Fargo sent out a text message to students telling them to evacuate campus buildings by 10:15 a.m. because of a bomb threat that had been called in.
