Bomb Threat At Barack Obama Campaign Offices

While the people of Indiana are voting in the Democratic primaries, authorities evacuated and searched three of Barack Obama's campaign offices today, after receiving bomb threats.
A bomb threat was called into a reporter at WTHI-TV 10, where the person told the reporter that they had planted bombs in Barack Obama’s Terre Haute campaign headquarters on Wabash Avenue as well as six other locations.

This prompted authorities to evacuate some locations and search for a bomb and after finding none, they allowed workers back into the offices.

The reports mirror the circumstances of Obama's office in Vincennes being vandalized early Monday morning. In that incident, a male caller also reported the vandalism to a station in Terre Haute.

The Obama campaign reported little disruption because of the threats.

The three locations were the Terre Haute, Vincennes and Evansville offices.
