BREAKING: bomb threat in IN against Obama campaign offices (no actual bombs found)
Edited on Tue May-06-08 04:23 PM by anigbrowl
TERRE HAUTE — Indiana State Police swept Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama’s Terre Haute campaign headquarters on Wabash Avenue this afternoon following an alleged call to a WTHI Channel 10 reporter claiming to have placed a bomb there and at six other Indiana locations.

Campaign workers were allowed back inside to continue their voter calling once police determined it was safe.

5. I thought more people would be interested. Who do you think is behind it?
Whoever, I hope the TV station recorded their #. this sort of thing is unacceptable no matter who it affects. Myself, I'm guessing some over-eager Rushbot.
