UNABOMBER STRIKES AGAIN
The FBI believes thatthe Unabomberwas responsible for the mail bomb that killed a man in Sacramento yesterday, and some federal experts apparently think that the usually cold and logical killer is beginning to come apart. On Monday, a shoebox-sized package wrapped flawlessly in brown paper exploded when Gilbert Murray, a timber industry lobbyist, tried to open it. The Unabomber's previous attack killed a New Jersey advertising executive in his home last December.TIME San Francisco bureau chief David Jacksonnotes that it was not unusual for the Unabomber to send bombs in pairs, one a brief time after another. Over the past 17 years, 15 bombings attributed to him have resulted in two deaths and the maiming and injuring of 23 people. But the Associated Press cited an unnamed federal source today who thinks that from the letters the bomber has sent to the FBI recently, "This guy has flipped out."
