Shortly after 2 a.m., the RCMP office received an automated phone message from an anonymous person indicating there was a bomb at Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
Around the same time, Dalhousie University received a threatening automated phone message, and while police were investigating that, nearby Saint Mary’s University also received a bomb threat from an anonymous person.
