From the school’s website: "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. Updates will follow.”

Same thing as at UT Austin. Multiple bomb threads with a 90-minute warning. Same time, too.

1. I'm betting this is a scare tactic

to get more folks to vote for Romney.

4. No this is some stupid person

trying to create panic for their own reasons.

5. I'll hope that's all it is...

I don't trust the RW not to pull this kind of stunt...

8. Remember the Walmart bombscares recently???

At least one was called in by a former acquaintance who is a hard core right winger, who is an activist Christian type... I have no doubt that it's probably him or someone like him, doing this.

Remember, they WANT to create the notion that the President isn't keeping us safe. Bomb scare phone calls, are almost always just that. A stupid ass with a phone.

14. Doubtful

likely it's some idiot trying to get attention.

And he will. But he might not like it.

/not everything is a political conspiracy. Yes, even around election-time.

15. I'm hoping this doesn't go viral...

If it did, that would really bite.

As to someone making prank calls... I wish him well, in his new industrial decor apartment, with his new lover...

2. This is scary. I've got a kid away at college, though not at these schools.

Hope it's a prank.

7. Since WHEN do real terrorists call in bomb threats???

I'd wager that it's coordinated bullshit from the right wing Glenn Beck wackjobs trying to inflame things.

9. I hope you're right. It isn't their usual method.

3. No details so far.

The call was made at 10:15 Central time.

Could be a copycat or could be coordinated. I do not know.

6. Guessing that this is the work of the wacked out righties again.

Just like the stupid Walmart bomb scares. In the case of the UT bomb scare, has anyone known of AQ to actually CALL the target ahead of time? And the "heavy middle eastern accent."

I call bullshit on the bomb scares today. I think it's someone trying to inflame the situation with that stupid film, and make the President look weak.

At least one of the Walmart bomb scares was called in by a former acquaintance who is a HARD CORE right wing activist Christian. Same mentality.

12. Just a little

domestic terrorism ploy to brighten our friday. Dipshytes.

16. I hear they're letting people back in at UT now. (nt)

17. Nothing found. Looks like it was a hoax,

as at UT Austin.
