Man in Ireland Charged in Pitt Bomb Threats

Posted: Updated:
PITTSBURGH (AP) -

New details are showing that founding members of a Scottish terror group allegedly emailed bomb threats to the University of Pittsburgh earlier this year that forced evacuations of more than a hundred buildings around that campus.

Adam Stuart Busby of Dublin Ireland has been charged with emailing the threats between April 6 and 21.

He also emailed bomb threats to federal courthouses in Erie, Johnstown and Pittsburgh in June.

Busby is in custody in Ireland. It wasn't clear when he'd be brought to Pittsburgh to face the charges. He has no known ties to Pittsburgh or the university.
