Six "tech savvy" juveniles have been identified as persons of interest by the FBI in threats to historically Black colleges and universities that appear to be racially motivated.

More than a dozen historically Black colleges and universities received bomb threats on Tuesday, the first day of Black History Month.

A law enforcement official says the FBI has identified six persons of interest around the country, all juveniles, who are suspected of making the threats. The official says they appear to be “tech savvy,” using sophisticated methods to try to disguise the source of the threats, which appear to have a racist motivation.

Howard University was among the first to issue a shelter-in-place order early Tuesday — just a day after the school and several other historically Black colleges and universities received similar threats.

A bomb threat against the university is being investigated,” an alert from Howard University said, according to NBC Washington. "All persons on campus are advised to shelter in place until more information is available.”

The emergency alert was timestamped at 3:29 a.m. Tuesday, the first day of Black History Month.

An all-clear was later issued for Howard following a probe.

A FReeper this AM said with phone/internet tracing and mass surveillence of the kind Snowden described, it would be impossible for someone to do this without being found out.

It took about 8 hours to find them

If you’re waiting for names, pictures, or ethnicities, or the perps, expect to be disappointed.

Gee is that even a crime anymore? Last summer there was rioting, looting, shootings and I am sure bombings and no one went to jail. I thought all of this is OK BUT step 1 foot inside the “people’s house” and you are jailed forever. Why are they even bothering to look for these guys. The will probably get released right away anyhow.

No details about the suspects.

Lack of perjorative details about the suspects and crowing by LE/FBI makes me think possibly another black student crybully hoax.

The Left live to sow fear, division, and hatred. They won’t bother with the sex, age, race, or ethnicity of the perps if the information doesn’t advance their phony white supremacist story.

The Revolution will not be shared. The Revolution will not be taking applications. You will not be allowed to join The Revolution.

This smelled of Jussie Smollet the moment it came out.
