The FBI launched a hate crime and violent extremism investigation after a series of bomb threats made this week against more than a dozen Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Referring to a "nationwide series of bomb threats to Historically Black Colleges and Universities," the FBI said in a statement Wednesday that the threats are "being investigated as Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism and hate crimes." No explosive devices have been found at any of the locations.

The FBI is also investigating threats made against houses of worship, the statement said.

The investigation is led by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces and involves more than 20 FBI field offices across the country, according to the statement. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has also announced an investigation.
