Bombings

In a hearing that lasted less than three minutes, Unabomber suspect Theodore J. Kaczynski pleaded not guilty to charges that he engineered four separate attacks that killed two Sacramento men and maimed a UC San Francisco geneticist and a Yale University computer scientist. During his arraignment, Kaczynski, 54, was silent. But his court-appointed attorney, Quin Denvir, spoke on his behalf, telling U.S. Magistrate Judge Peter A.

A hearing intended to clear the way for Unabomber suspect Theodore J. Kaczynski to be moved here--possibly this weekend--has been set for Friday in Helena, Mont. A federal grand jury in Sacramento on Tuesday returned a 10-count indictment against Kaczynski, blaming the former UC Berkeley math professor in the bombing deaths of a Capitol lobbyist and a Sacramento computer store owner and of injuring a UC San Francisco geneticist and a Yale University computer scientist.

FBI agents have found what appears to be the original copy of the Unabomber manifesto in the Montana cabin of suspect Theodore J. Kaczynski. The FBI crime laboratory has also tentatively linked a typewriter found in the cabin to evidence from several bomb scenes, federal sources confirmed Friday. Investigators found the manuscript several days ago, but word of the discovery did not leak out until Friday.

Sand devils whipped the desert just outside town and the wind swept blinding clouds across a dirt track called Private Street 28 as the elderly Mexican hired hand shuffled through a broken screen door and into a tiny kitchen where cracked windows were repaired long ago with masking tape. Juan Sanchez Arreola tilted his straw cowboy hat back on a shock of silver hair. He greeted his visitors, eased himself into a warped wooden chair and slowly took off his watch.

Postal inspectors and the FBI said Thursday that they are investigating whether officials missed a chance to arrest Theodore J. Kaczynski last September based on the account of a postal worker who says she told authorities at the time that she had seen him and identified him as the elusive Unabomber.

Federal agents searching the cabin of former UC Berkeley math professor Theodore J. Kaczynski have found evidence directly connecting him to at least one of the bombings carried out by the elusive Unabomber, a source familiar with the investigation said Sunday. The disclosure came even as new witness identifications placed Kaczynski at a hotel near the bus depot in Sacramento, where some of the Unabomber's deadly parcels were posted.

FBI officials disagreed Friday over whether the agency was forced to proceed prematurely with a raid on the Unabomber suspect's cabin because CBS-TV reported that the search was imminent. The CBS report, aired shortly after noon PST Wednesday, said the FBI was preparing to search the mountain cabin of "the best suspect" in the 18-year Unabomber investigation. The FBI had scheduled its search to begin at 11 a.m. PST--and it apparently did--taking former professor Theodore J.

Bomb-wary federal agents, picking their way as carefully as brain surgeons through Theodore J. Kaczynski's mountain cabin, have found a typewriter that seems to be the one used to write a manuscript sent by the Unabomber during his reign of terror, government sources said Friday. The agents have filled 40 boxes with evidence, including a second typewriter and material that could be used to make bombs, one source said.

He's killed two people in Sacramento and one in New Jersey. He's wounded other people in Evanston, Nashville, Berkeley, Ann Arbor, Salt Lake, San Francisco and New Haven. And he brought the nation's airlines to a halt. So, lots of prosecutors in lots of places would like to bring the Unabomber to the bar of justice in what could be the next "trial of the century." But for U.S. Atty. Gen. Janet Reno, the decision of where to bring the first case against suspect Theodore J.

Shortly after the Unabomber struck the office of the California Forestry Assn. a year ago, Cary Hegreberg got a call from the FBI: Be suspicious, he was told. If you come home from work and there's a package left by the door, don't touch it. Don't let the children get the mail. Hegreberg, who runs the forestry trade group's Montana counterpart, the Montana Wood Products Assn., was told he could be next on the Unabomber's lethal roster of representatives of the industrial and technological age.
