The police at the University of Pittsburgh have arrested a New York man on charges of making terrorist threats to four professors, but he was not charged with making more than 60 bomb threats that have caused major disruptions across the campus since mid-February. The man, Mark Lee Krangle , 65, of Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., a graduate student at the university in the mid-1970s, was arrested as he stepped off a plane at Pittsburgh International Airport on Wednesday, university officials said. The bomb threats, however, continued Thursday morning, causing hundreds of students to be rousted from dormitories, libraries and classrooms. No devices have been found.
