KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Two pipe bombs sent late last month appear to be linked to a suspect who has been sending increasingly threatening letters to financial institutions since at least 2005, a corporate counterterrorism expert said Saturday.
Officials have suggested in both cases that the devices were not working bombs that could have exploded. Instead, the devices appear to be a sign that the suspect, calling himself "The Bishop," may be closer to sending live bombs, Fred Burton said.
On Saturday, FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza said the case is being investigated by multiple FBI field offices and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, but declined to comment on a report Burton issued on the case Wednesday.
