Harvard reopens after bomb scare

Harvard University yesterday reopened four buildings at the heart of its centuries-old campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that had been evacuated earlier after reports that explosives had been planted on the premises.

The Ivy League university said on its online alert system that all four buildings — three classroom facilities and a dorm — had reopened following a sweep by local, state and federal law enforcement officials.

No explosions were reported and neither Harvard officials nor law enforcement reported finding explosive devices.
