I Pipe bomb found in nail
CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP)—A
federal employee received a pipe bomb
in the mail Saturday. It was the third
such device found in the San Diego
area in as many days.
The bomb did not go off when the
man opened the package at 4:28 pan.
Saturday, said Sgt. Tom Keblish.
“When he opened it, he realized it was
t a pipe bomb and threw it down on the
I bed,” he said.
" The package contained two pipe
bombs, both of which were disarmed
without any injuries. Sgt. Conrad
Grayson of the San Diego Sheriff’s
Bomb Squad said the bombs were so
phisticated and could have blown out
the inside of the house.
The bomb appeared to be con
structed by the same person who built
two other bombs and mailed them
Thursday and Friday.
One went to the San Diego FBI
office and was detonated in the park
ing lot. The second was sent to a waste
treatment company, and authorities
disarmed it. There were no injuries.
The bombs were the same size and
made from the same material.
The man who received the bomb
is a 45-year-old, white federal em
ployee. Keblish did not know which
agency the man works for or why he
was targeted. The man has no idea
why anyone would send him a pipe
bomb, Keblish said.
Keblish could not explain why the
bomb didn’t explode when the pack
age was opened.
“The tripping device is set to go
off when you open it. For some rea
son, this one didn’t,” he said.

ABA may seek end '
to executions in U.S.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The
American Bar Association has
never taken a position on the death
penalty but may be on the brink of
seeking an end to executions “un
less and until greater fairness and
due process prevail.”
A report prepared by two groups
within the 370,000-lawyer organi
zation recommended a moratorium
because “efforts to forge a fair capi
tal punishment jurisprudence have
failed.”
“Today, administration of the
death penalty ... is ... a haphazard
maze of unfair practices with no
internal consistency,” the report
says.
The ABA’s policy-making
House of Delegates, meeting at the
association’s national convention,
will be asked Monday to adopt the
moratorium recommendation in
response to recent federal and state
actions. If accepted, it would be
come the focus of ABA lobbying
efforts in Congress and state legis
latures.
More than 3,000 men and
women are on death rows across
the nation. Most states and the fed
eral government have death-sen
tence laws.
Hie measure does not state a
position on capital punishment.
Instead, it invokes previously
adopted ABA policies that “mini
mize the risk that innocent persons
may be executed.”
The policies have called for:
■ Competent counsel for all capi
tal defendants.
■ Availability of federal court
review of state prosecutions.
■ Efforts to eliminate racial dis
crimination in capital sentencing.
■ No executions of mentally
retarded defendants or those under
18 when they committed their
crimes.
The Supreme Court previously
has allowed the death penalty for
murderers who committed crimes
at age 16 or 17. It has upheld death
penalty regimens despite evidence
that black defendants and killers of
white victims are more likely to be
sentenced to die.
Asked about the recommenda
tion, ABA President Lee Cooper
did not criticize it He said, how
ever, “I support the death penalty.”
The recommendation’s backers
have obtained support from 20 of
the 24 living former ABA presi
dents. No organized opposition has
surfaced within the ABA.
The Clinton administration has
voiced opposition. Justice Depart
ment officials told the ABA the rec
ommendation is unwarranted.
