Similar bomb threats prompted evacuations at Cornell, Columbia, and Brown universities last weekend, followed by renewed threats on Thursday against NYU, USC, Cleveland State University, University of Chicago, and MIT. thedailybeast.com/the-jilted-mis…
Some of the evacuations at these top universities happened shortly after a series of Twitter accounts tweeted bomb threats at the schools.

All of the accounts, which appear newly created, attempted to accuse or implicate a young woman in the bombings – at one point threatening to place more threats if she did not contact them. thedailybeast.com/the-jilted-mis…
“This guy won’t leave me alone,” the woman, who goes by Jia online, tweeted last weekend before deleting her account. “I have tried to negotiate with him to stop but he refuses to unless I date him.”thedailybeast.com/the-jilted-mis…
She characterized the hoaxer as a man named Ryan who became obsessed with her online: “I’m just a minecraft girl that this sicko fell in love with after 2 days of speaking LOL."
