AUSTIN (KXAN) - The University of Texas is evacuating all of its buildings due to threats on campus.
"Immediately evacuate ALL buildings and get as far away as possible," read a message posted at 9:53 a.m. on the campus' emergency alert website. "More information to come."
UT Director of Communications Rhonda Weldon said the university got a call around 8:35 a.m. from a male with a middle eastern accent claiming to have placed bombs all over campus.
He said he was with Al Qaeda and that these bombs would go off in 90 minutes.
President Williams Powers has been notified, and officials are now evacuating all of the buildings out of an abundance of caution.
