Bombs Sent to Abortion Clinics

Four bombs, one powerful enough to kill or maim several people, were mailed to Portland area clinics that perform abortions or provide birth-control information, police said today.

Only one of the devices was delivered and it was defused by the police bomb squad after it arrived at the Women’s Feminist Health Center, Sgt. Jay Decker said. The other devices were seized by U.S. postal authorities before they could reach their destinations.
