(AP) -- Fort Bragg officials say it appears political robocalls from Haiti led to a series of evacuations around the North Carolina Army post.
Spokesman Tom McCollum said Fort Bragg received numerous phone calls Wednesday that included someone speaking in French Creole.
Officials heard a garbled word that sounded like "bomb," suspected that they were bomb threats and initiated evacuations.
First responders searched the buildings and found nothing threatening.
Investigators found that the messages originated in Haiti and appeared to be a solicitation to vote from a Haitian political action committee.
McCollum says officials took the correct action.
About 45,000 people live at Fort Bragg.
