Bomb Threats Target Multiple Colleges

September 1, 2007

Editor’s note: This article was initially published in The Daily Gazette, Swarthmore’s online, daily newspaper founded in Fall 1996. As of Fall 2018, the DG has merged with The Phoenix. See the about page to read more about the DG.

On Friday afternoon at 4 PM, students and faculty received an “Awareness Bulletin” describing an e-mail including bomb threats which Public Safety and the Swarthmore Police Department believe to be false.

Colleges around the country have been receiving similar messages in the past week, including Carnegie Mellon, Princeton, and MIT. Carnegie Mellon evacuated its science building and was searched by bomb-sniffing dogs, which turned up nothing. The FBI is currently investigating the threats, believed to be a large-scale hoax.
