| Mailbox Boy drops two more... |
| 2002-05-07 |
| Two more pipe bombs were found in mailboxes in Nebraska and Colorado on Monday. Fifteen pipe bombs were found in rural areas of three Midwestern states on the three previous days. Taking a crosss country drive west, probably in Mom's car... The U.S. Postal Service said a pipe bomb was found on Monday in the mailbox of a home near the town of Hastings, Nebraska, by a resident who had been away during the weekend. Authorities concluded it was similar to the bombs found in Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska. In Colorado, a resident in Salida found a pipe bomb in his mailbox. Leaving his droppings along the way... Jim Mruk, a U.S. Postal Service spokesman in the Chicago area, said investigators have discovered that the Nebraska bombs were "rigged differently" than those in Iowa and Illinois and may not have gone off because they did not have duct tape holding the trigger mechanism in place in the mail boxes. One possibility, he said, is that the person responsible for the bombs ran out of duct tape while moving across country. "Ran out of duct tape"? I've got duct tape that I've had for ten years. And if you do run out, you can stop at most convenience stores and buy a roll. Is he out of money? Allowance ran out? Does he not want to show his face? Is he (cue "Music of the Night" here) deformed or somethin'? |
