AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- The University of Texas at Austin and North Dakota State University were reopened after shutting down Friday due to bomb threats, university officials said.
University of Texas officials said in a statement the school received a phoned-in bomb threat "from a male with a middle eastern accent, claiming to have placed bombs all over campus," and that the bombs would be detonated in 90 minutes. The school president was notified and a decision was made to close the campus, the Austin American-Statesman reported Friday.
