Pipe Bomb Found in Texas Mailbox
05/07/2002 10:19 AM EDT
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A pipe bomb similar to 17 others found in four other states was discovered in a rural mailbox in Texas, the FBI said Tuesday.
The bomb was found near Amarillo, Texas, said FBI agent Larry Holmquist in Omaha. A letter was attached, investigators said.
"It's another pipe bomb. It looks similar to the others," he said. "Upon our initial inspection, it appears it would be from the same source."
The letter was attached to the pipe bomb, but investigators had not yet inspected it, Holmquist said. It wasn't certain whether the bomb was found late Monday or early Tuesday.
Mailboxes near Valley, Neb., are left open Monday May 6, 2002, after the Postal Service asked customers in Nebraska, Iowa and northwest Illinois with roadside delivery to secure their mailbox doors open or remove the doors. Mail deliveries resumed in the Midwest after a weekend when seven more pipe bombs were found in roadside mailboxes in Nebraska. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)
"We haven't made any comparisons yet, but everything else, including the bomb itself, looks similar in nature," he said.
Amarillo is about 325 miles southeast from Salida, Colo., where one of the pipe bombs was found Monday.
The pipe bomb scare began last Friday when six people were injured by mailbox explosives in Illinois and Iowa, creating new fears about domestic terrorism striking the heartland.
The latest discovery in Colorado now has authorities looking for geographical patterns.

Barefoot,
You be careful! They have now found one in Texas. Who knows where
one will pop up next.
I hope that all those crazy copy-cats don't start. Just be careful.

Text of note left in mailboxes in the Midwest where pipe bombs were
found Friday:
Mailboxes are exploding! Why, you ask?
Attention people.
You do things because you can and want (desire) to
If the government controls what you want to do, they control what you
can do.
If you are under the impression that death exists, and you fear it,
you do anything to avoid it. (This is the same way pain operates.
Naturally we strive to avoid negative emotion/pain.)
You allow yourself to fear death!
World authorities allowed, and still allow you to fear death!
In avoiding death you are forced to conform, if you fail to conform,
you suffer mentally and physically. (Are world powers utilizing the
natural survival instinct in a way that allows them to capitalize on
the people?)
To "live" (avoid death) in this society you are forced to
conform/slave away.
I'm here to help you realize/ understand that you will live no matter
what! It is up to you people to open your hearts and minds. There is
no such thing as death. The people I've dismissed from this reality
are not at all dead.
Conforming to the boundaries, and restrictions imposed by the
government only reduces the substance in your lives. When 1% of the
nation controls 99% of the nations total wealth, is it a wonder why
there are control problems?
The United States strives to provide freedom for their people. Do we
really have personal freedom? I've lived here for many years, and I
see much limitation. Does the definition of freedom include
limitation? I've learned about the history of various civilizations
in history, and I see more and more limitation. Do you people enjoy
this trend of limitation? If not, change it!
As long as you are uninformed about death you will continue to
say "how high", when the government tells you to "jump". As long as
the government is uninformed about death they will continue tell you
to "jump" Is the government uninformed about death, or are they
pretending?
You have been missing how things are, for very long. I'm obtaining
your attention in the only way I can. More info is on its way.
More "attention getters' are on the way. If I could, I would change
only one person, unfortunately the resources are not accessible. It
seems killing a single famous person would get the same media
attention as killing numerous un-famous humans. There is less risk of
being detained, associated with dismissing certain people.
Sincerely,
Someone Who Cares
PS. More info. will be delivered to various locations around the
country.
