From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A pipe bomb sent to a Houston church exploded and injured Lisa Osteen, daughter of the pastor, the Rev. John Osteen. She suffered burns when she opened a package delivered to an office of the independent charismatic Lakewood Church. She was hospitalized in good condition. Police Sgt. J. C. Mosier described the device as “some sort of pipe bomb.” A spokesman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said it was doubtful that there was any link to recent bomb attacks that killed a judge and a lawyer.
