CHICAGO (AP) - Two dud pipe bombs mailed to companies in Chicago and Kansas City included threatening letters with phrases such as "Bang you're dead" and "Tic-toc," postal inspectors said Friday.
The Postal Inspection Service also said investigators believe the suspect, who has identified himself as "The Bishop" in letters sent to financial institutions over the past 18 months, has ties to the Chicago area.
About half of the 15 threatening letters known to have been sent to Chicago-area postmarks, and the two pipe bombs, were mailed from the post office in suburban Rolling Meadows, said David Colen of the inspection service's Chicago office.
