Perry Chiaramonte at Foxnews.com offers a piece on the Austin bomber.
A fifth explosion in a series
of Texas bombings that began March 2 continues to put the state on edge, and
now comparisons are being made to another serial bomber from more than two
decades ago – The Unabomber — as investigators try to figure out the motives of
the unknown suspect.
A March 18 explosion, the
fourth out of five that have occurred in the Austin and San Antonio areas,
signaled to investigators a stepped-up level of sophistication in the attacks.
Unlike the previous bombings, which involved packages left on doorsteps, the
bomb that went off March 18 was placed near a hiking trail and had a thin
translucent tripwire, like fishing line. Two people have died in the explosions
and four others have been injured.
The bombs used in Texas are
hidden in parcels, similar to devices made by the Unabomber.
According to the Washington
Post, sending bombs in the mail was the method of choice for Ted Kaczynski,
tagged the Unabomber, whose parcel’s exploded in the faces of unsuspecting
recipients over a period of 17 years until his arrest in 1996.
