The Boston Globe: FBI warns colleges of terror threat
Federal agents are warning leaders at some of the region’s top universities — including MIT, Boston College, and the University of Massachusetts — to be on the lookout for foreign spies or potential terrorists trying to steal their research, the head of the FBI’s Boston office said yesterday.
Agents plan to visit many more New England colleges in the coming months and are offering to provide briefings about what they call “espionage indicators” to faculty, students, or security staff as part of a national outreach to college campuses.
