The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the series of bomb threats made against several Historically Black Colleges and Universities as "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism and hate crimes," the Bureau told Insider in a Wednesday statement.

Dozens of bomb threats were made against HBCUs across the country on Monday and Tuesday.

No explosives have been discovered thus far, according to the FBI.

"The FBI is aware of the series of bomb threats around the country and we are working with our law enforcement partners to address any potential threats," said the FBI said in their statement.

The bureau has identified six "tech-savvy" juveniles as persons of interest, according to a report from NBC News.
