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. f* I* 1 Questions? Comments? Ask for the M>hrnsk«ri 4 Editor.

ALL MATERIAL COPYRIGHT 1997 DAILY NEBRASKAN 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. i I 5S I I SINCE A 4-YEAR DEGREE REALLY TAKES 5 YEARS, YOU MIGHT NEED 12 fast Italian favorites priced under $4.
