Bomb threat alarm reported at Virginia Tech campus
Blacksburg, Virginia- A bomb threat was reported at the
campus of Virginia Polytechnical Institute on Wednesday, two days
after the gun massacre which claimed 33 lives, the US television
network Fox News reported.
The TV network said armed security forces had surrounded an
administration building where the university president's office was
located. Employees were ordered to evacuate their offices.

The administration building is located directly next to the
lecture hall where some of the killings took place on Monday when 23-
year-old South Korean student Cho Seung-Hui went on a rampage,
killing 32 persons and them himself in the worst such killing spree
in US history.
