Update I: The University of Texas at Austin said all buildings may be re-entered at 12 p.m. All activities except classes will resume at 5 p.m.; all classes are canceled for the day.
Update II:The Associated Press has reported no bombs were found either at UT Austin or at North Dakota State University by late morning, and it was “not clear whether the threats were related.”
Original story below:
The University of Texas at Austin has ordered an immediate evacuation of its entire campus after a man claiming he was with Al-Qaida said he had placed bombs all over campus set to detonate in 90 minutes.
UPDATE, 10 a.m.: UT officials said in a statement:
At 8:35 a.m. the university received a call from a male with a middle eastern accent claiming to have placed bombs all over campus. He said he was with Al Qaeda and these bombs would go off in 90 minutes. President Powers was notified and it was decided to evacuate all of the buildings out of an abundance of caution.
An emergency notice on the UT Austin website states: “Evacuation due to threats on campus. Immediately evacuate ALL buildings and get as far away as possible. More information to come.”
UT Austin posted on Twitter at 10:45 a.m.: “Time specified in phone threat has passed but we have not yet cleared all buildings. Decision to resume operations&classes will come shortly.”
North Dakota State University in Fargo, N.D. is also currently ordering all of its students and staff off campus due to a bomb threat.
A security alert on NDSU’s website states: “NDSU is requiring all employees and students to leave campus by 10:15 a.m. This includes residence hall students, who, if necessary, should walk to locations off campus. This also includes the downtown buildings and agricultural facilities. NDSU received a bomb threat, prompting this evacuation.”
Valparaiso University in Indiana has also posted a threat warning, saying “an unspecific threat to campus was made through a graffiti message alluding to dangerous and criminal activity alleged to be carried out during the chapel break period on Friday,” which takes place at 11:15 a.m. The Post-Tribune of Northwest Indiana reported a campus search did not turn up anything suspicious and all classes remain in session.
This is a breaking news story. Updates will be added.

Sep. 14, 2012 at 11:58amUndoubtedly a hoax. Frankly, it wouldn’t surprise me if some student woke up with a hangover and realized that he hadn’t studied for a Gender Studies quiz scheduled for today, then conjured up an Achmed The Dead Terrorist accent to call things off.

Did you say “a middle eastern accent?”
Maybe that was middle eastern Kansas?
Please don’t jump to conclusions about those who would slit our throats and burn us in our beds.

This is Newsworthy ?
A “Threat” from a “supposed” Al-Qaida ?
A Clown with a firecracker in his shoe or underwear is more of a threat.
America (2 buildings in NYC and the Pentagon) was only atttacked by 19 Saudia Arabians.
NOT IRAQIS, IRANIANS, AFGHANIS, etc. !!!!
This muslim boogieman charade is perpetrated by the Global Elite to continue taking away your rights
and to further Military Industial Complex contracts.
More Americans have died from bee stings than Terrorists since 9-11.
NOT ONE AMERICAN has died on Ameican Soil at the hands of an “Al-Qaida” since 9-11 with the exception of the Foot hood shooter, and since he was an AMERICAN in our MILITARY, that does not count in my book.
If you think that counts, then you think we have passed unconstitutional bills and created rights-violating agencies to protect us from our own Military men and women.
Watch the Main Stream medi at this Cr@p up. The sheeple will want more protective measures put into place.
This is just another example of the Global Elite using their Media to instill fear into the ignorant,
so they will pressure their “representatives” into passing laws that the Elite want passed.

Sep. 14, 2012 at 11:58amThese kinds of incidents were common in the 1960s. Liberal college and university settings were prime staging grounds for Marxist revolutionaries. This sort of PC, Marxist mindset is still abundant today on taxpayer funded colleges and universities all across America. Anything not considered PC by the campus thought police is openly and liberally (in every sense of the word) bashed. Vitriolic leftist rhetoric is common in classrooms. It is not surprising to see this kind of pathetic behavior, given how pervasive inflammatory, PC rhetoric is in America’s classrooms – as shown in “Marxist Valley College” at Youtube. http://tinyurl.com/44btbq8

Sep. 14, 2012 at 3:41pmI feel like I’m in a constant flashback to the 60′s with what’s going on in the world today.
That said, I can’t help but remember when I worked in law enforcement many years ago. It was pretty common to get bomb calls on the days when the addicts were scheduled to come in and give urine samples to fulfill their probation requirements. Did drugs that week? Call in a bomb threat and you can’t make your appointment, right? Therefore, no one will know you’d fail your test.

Sep. 14, 2012 at 11:52amThis may be the ” surprise” that our Lefty anarchists taunted us with months ago. The anti-capitalist OWS / Black Bloc types were talking about an “American Autumn” for the past 2 years. Maybe what will lead to the ” marital law / no election ” that conservatives have also feared. Hope someone is smart enough to not let these bad guys manipulate this further. Am sure that amateur video was one huge planned hoax / set up. Odd that CAIR was giving info about the people involved. Connecting dots ? All part of a pre-planned international anti-capitalism move. Hope our police are ready. Will the union or will America win ? Praise the Lord and pass the ammo…..

That being said, I do understand that we live in a world where these theats must be taken seriously and immediate action taken….just in case.

Sep. 14, 2012 at 11:40amBREAKING – HEADS UP!! FBI, DHS warning for HERE….
“Now, a U.S. intelligence bulletin, issued by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, warns that such extremist violence could become a domestic problem as well.
While the bulletin makes no mention of specific threats, ABC News notes it does caution first responders to be “aware of the potential for spontaneous large crowds and protests that could overwhelm resources.” Personnel should also “be vigilant for possible efforts to encourage peaceful protesters to commit acts of violence.”
“Additionally,” the bulletin continues, “we judge that violent extremist groups in the United States could exploit anger over the film to advance their recruitment efforts.”
“Although there has been no violent reaction to the film in the Homeland thus far,” a copy of the bulletin obtained by CNN states, “the risk of violence could increase both at home and abroad as the film continues to gain attention.”

Sep. 14, 2012 at 11:38amSo the ME is burning to the ground, anti-american feelings are growing throughout the world and now we have threats here at home…….yet people will still say Obama is doing a great job and the MSM will do all they can to prop this failure of an administration up.
I am shocked that Obama is leading in the polls and so many people still support him and think that he is better in dealing with Foreign affairs or anything of that matter. It is to the point that I no longer have faith that the majoirity of Americans know what they are doing. Granted MSM has a lot to do with this because they have thrown their full support behind Obama, but it is still disheartening to know that the majority of people are this stupid.

Sep. 14, 2012 at 11:37amI doubt there are really bombs there because a threat was called in, a warning given. This is terrorism though, they use fear too, as well as bombs. The jihad way.
I do, however, expect a real act of violent, life taking terrorism in America very soon.

Sep. 14, 2012 at 11:42am@ Momrules, have you heard, the Muslim Brotherhood already said there will be violence in America if we don’t arrest the people responsible for the movie, America apologize to all muslims and Islam for the movie, and that we don’t do anything to “offend” the Islam faith and if someone does then they are to be arrested……basically they are saying that we can no longer speak ill of Islam. And the sad thing is Obama and the democrats in Washington will probably go along with this…even though we have this thing called the First Admendment which gives us freedom of speech.

Sep. 14, 2012 at 12:00pmYes Popp40…….That explains the DOJ and the FBI going after the man. I think the way the Muslims in the ME, Yemen, Egypt, etc are exploding with anti America violence our time here is very short before they unleash one or more of the terrorist cells they have here.
I wonder about the safety of the Pope in Lebanon. What a feather in the cap for any Muslim group that kills him. They may also be coordinating for an attack on Israel. Notice how quiet Iran is right now.

Sep. 14, 2012 at 11:25amAnd so it begins; Worldwide Jihad is at out doorstep.
The Muslim world is unifying under the banner of Jihad and focused on a single goal; Reconstituting the Caliphate and realizing the Hegemony of Islam through the Third (and final in their eyes) Great Jihad. How do we know? Because they’ve been plainly stating it all over the world for the last 50 years.
Read up on Sayyid Qutb’s “Milestones” and Hassan Al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. I have to warn you though, once you begin to understand the breadth and depth of their commitment and continuos drive toward realization of their goals INSIDE the United States, the genie is out of the bottle, so to speak.
Research The “Holy Land Charity Terror Trial” and you’ll see just how many “mainstream” Islamic organizations in the US are involved.
The “Arab Spring” is their plan in action. Thier goal is the overthrow of all secular dictators to be replaced with Muslim Brotherhood Theocrats. Mubarak and Gaddafi are the ones you know about. The war in Syria is not about “Rebels”, it’s about The Muslim Brotherhood trying to overthrow Assad (a Shia) and replace him with a Sunni MB agent. Iran also being a Shia country is not about to let that happen on their border which is why they’ve made deals with China and Russia to keep American intervention at bay.
In the end, we will either fight, Submit, or die because these are the only choices they will give us.
