At least 6 historically Black colleges receive bomb threats

• The previous threats, made on Jan. 5, were cleared and no bombs were found.

Driving the news: School officials at Southern University and A&M College, Bethune-Cookman University, Albany State University, Bowie State University, Delaware State University and Howard University confirmed the recent bomb threats online or via emailed statements Monday morning.

• By Monday mid-afternoon, authorities or officials at all the colleges, except for Albany State, said the threats had been cleared and no bombs were found. Albany State did not immediately respond to Axios request for comment.

What they're saying: "We're relieved to hear that Howard and Bethune-Cookman universities have been given the all-clear and will continue to monitor these reports," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said earlier Monday afternoon.

• The FBI “is aware of bomb threats received by some Historically Black Colleges and Universities,” the agency said in a statement provided to AP. “The FBI takes all potential threats seriously, and we regularly work with our law enforcement partners to determine their credibility.”
