    FBI: Texas pipe bomb similar to others found

    AMARILLO, Texas -- A pipe bomb
    similar to 17 found in four other states
    was discovered in a rural mailbox in
    Texas, the FBI said on Tuesday.

    The bomb was found near Amarillo,
    Texas, and a letter was attached,
    investigators told the AP.

    "It's another pipe bomb. It looks similar to
    the others," FBI agent Larry Holmquist
    told the AP. "Upon our initial inspection, it
    appears it would be from the same
    source."

    FBI agents said Monday they believe one
    person seeking attention is responsible for
    17 pipe bombs that have been found
    recently in mailboxes in the Midwest and
    Colorado.

    Authorities said they based their belief on
    the fact that typewritten letters attached
    to the bombs were in the first person
    singular and the bombs were similar in design.

    in my opinion, this guy is driving around America with a bunch of amateur bombs looking for attention.

    he was in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana region, then he moved to Nebraska.
    now he's in the northern section of Texas.


    find this b*stard!!

    I live in Omaha and the postal workers have asked everyone to keep your mailbox doors open so they can see whats inside without opening it. They are also leaving them open when they drop off the mail so we can see whats inside without having to open it just to be on the safe side

    So we should be hearing of attacks on innocent white people in response pretty soon huh? What about being suspicious of any white man with a package. I'm sure as hell not going to a post office today, those white males are all over the place.

    He looks like such a nice young man. Why cant he get attention by doing something cool like setting a world record?

    hehe.. glee club...

    try this:

    "Helder played lead guitar and sang for a three-man punk band called Apathy, said Dan Barrera, owner of a Rochester, Minn., music store where Helder shopped. The band recorded a compact disc but none of its members took it seriously, Barrera said."

    the Houston Chronicle has a link to their webpage (bandwidth exceeded) and a link to one of their MP3's... link
