The AP reported:
Thousands of people streamed off university campuses in Texas and North Dakota on Friday after phoned-in bomb threats prompted evacuations and officials warned students and faculty to get away as quickly as possible. No bombs had been found on either campus by late morning and it was not clear whether the threats were related.
The University of Texas issued received a call about 8:35 a.m. from a man claiming to be with al-Qaida who said he had placed bombs all over the 50,000-student Austin campus, according to University of Texas spokeswoman Rhonda Weldon. He claimed the bombs would go off in 90 minutes and all buildings were evacuated at 9:50 a.m. as a precaution, Weldon said.
The deadline passed without incident, and the university issued another advisory saying all buildings had been cleared. It left open the possibility that classes could resume later Friday.
North Dakota State University President Dean Bresciani said 20,000 people also were evacuated from his school’s main and downtown campuses in Fargo after the school received its bomb threat Friday morning. Officials did not immediately release details about the North Dakota threat.
UPDATE: The universities were reopened this afternoon.

Wait, you mean he wasn’t a ‘Tea bagger’? But but but, POTUS and the Dept of Homeland Security ASSURES me over and over again that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’ and that the only domestic terrorists we face threat from are those eeevil right wingers, bitter clingers, and military vets! How can this be?!?!

To be honest folks, if this was terrorists, they wouldn’t have phoned in a warning, they would have struck. Terrorists never give a warning.

If the call at 8:35 said the bombs would go off in 90 minutes… isn’t evacuating at 9:50 (75 minutes later) cutting it a little close?
