The Nation : 3 Death Threats Linked

Death threats identical to the one received by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun also were sent to another high court justice and to Sen. Alfonse M. D’Amato (R-N.Y.), the FBI said in Washington. FBI spokesman Bill Baker said the agency is investigating all three threats, as well as a gunshot fired last week at Blackmun’s home in Arlington, Va. “They were identical letters,” Baker said. “We’re working all cases. We have not found any link between the letters and the shooting incident.” D’Amato revealed to reporters that he received the threatening letter, but the second Supreme Court justice was not identified.
