Student accused of Harvard bomb hoax

A Harvard University student has been charged with making bomb threats following the evacuation of four campus buildings on Monday.

The US attorney's office says Eldo Kim, 20, is accused of emailing hoax messages with a subject line "Bombs placed around campus".

He is due in court on Wednesday.

Final exams, which had been under way at the elite college in Cambridge, Massachusetts, were cancelled in the affected buildings.

5. More like college classes in prison

He's going to do time and he should have to pay every expense associated with closing down the college
and also any police or city expense involved.
