STATE : Fake Bomb Found at Animal Lab

Police today blew up a fake bomb that had been wrapped like a Christmas present and placed outside an animal research laboratory at Stanford University, authorities said.

University police also were looking for two possible bombs after a man claiming to represent the Animal Liberation Front said three bombs--two real and one a hoax--had been planted at the university. “We will not stop until the vivisection is ended,” the man said in a telephone call to the Associated Press in San Francisco early this morning.
