Rise in U S bombings in the 1990s shocks authorities

AP reports Americans attacking with bombs nearly doubled in the 1990s with numbers rising from 1,699 in 1989 to 3,163 in 1994. The piece traces motives from tax protesters to ex-FBI cases, notes wide dispersion of bomb-making knowledge via the Internet, and cites ATF officials on countering threats. It cites incidents in Oklahoma City suburbs, Baton Rouge, Reno, and broader trends.

Atlanta 911 delay cited in Centennial Park bomb threat

An AP report says a 10 minute delay occurred before reporting a Centennial Park bomb threat because operators lacked the park address in Atlanta. The delay followed an eight page Police Department summary and a computer log indicating time spent locating the address before dispatch.

Piedmont College security guard Jewell linked to Atlanta bombing case

A Piedmont College spokesman said Jewell, who worked as a security guard for about a year, resigned last May after stopping drivers and checking for alcohol. President Ray Cleere contacted investigators after seeing Jewell on TV while FBI officials cited contradictions. Jewell spent hours at the FBI Atlanta office with lawyer Watson Bryant, who says Jewell was not a suspect or target.
