HeadlineFeb 03, 2022

The FBI said Wednesday they are investigating at least six people of interest in relation to a series of bomb threats made against historically Black colleges and universities and places of worship. All of the individuals are minors, and the cases are being investigated as hate crimes. In Florida, a police chief described a phone call in which an unidentified person said bombs would explode and a gunman would attack Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach. The caller claimed to be linked to the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division.
