Nation IN BRIEF : GEORGIA : Items Confiscated From Bomb Suspect

Federal agents reportedly examined items that were confiscated from a suspect in a probe of mail bombings that killed a federal judge and a Savannah, Ga., attorney in December. The FBI began searching a house, a storage shed and three vehicles belonging to Walter Leroy Moody of Rex, Ga. Moody became a target in the inquiry after federal agents noted similarities between a bomb that injured his former wife in 1972 and the ones used in the fatal bombings. Moody, 55, was convicted in 1972 of possession of an unregistered explosive. He is acting as his own attorney in his U.S. Supreme Court appeal of the conviction. The U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals denied his third appeal in June.
