Washington: Harvard University said on Monday that it had received "unconfirmed" bomb threat which prompted the university to evacuate four buildings on its campus. A warning was first posted on its official website at 12.31 pm and university authorities said all the four buildings were evacuated and law enforcement officials were on scene.

The news of a possible bomb threat came just hours after the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan warned that more attacks may occur following Friday's deadly assault allegedly by the Islamic State terrorist group across the French capital.

Reports also emerged on Monday of a new video by the extremist group, which claimed that it planned to "strike America at its centre in Washington" and that other countries who participated in counter-IS strikes would also be the group's targets.
