Three buildings are being evacuated at Concordia University’s downtown campus after a letter was sent to several media outlets Wednesday threatening to set off bombs targeting Muslim students.
The letter, which was emailed to the CBC as well as several other media outlets, suggests bombs will be set off at the engineering, computer science and visual arts integrated (EV) and Hall buildings.
Concordia began evacuating the EV and Hall buildings at about 11:30 a.m. ET
At 12:07 p.m., the university said it also was evacuating the Guy-De Maisonneuve (GM) building, which is connected to the EV building.
The threatening letter, purportedly from a group that calls itself Council of Conservative Citizens of Canada (C4), complains about Muslim students at Concordia.
“The suspect sent by email that he put some explosive items inside a few places inside the buildings,” said Montreal police Const. Benoit Boisselle.
