KANSAS CITY, Mo. He calls himself "The Bishop" and he's suspected of mailing two inoperable explosive devices through the mail last month.
The devices arrived a day apart in Kansas City and Chicago. His work has also been found in Iowa and Wisconsin.Authorities say the devices are thought to be connected to a series of threatening letters sent to financial institutions over the past 18 months.Corporate Counterrorism expert Fred Burton says it could take help from the public to nab the suspect.In his letters, "The Bishop" has ordered financial companies to move the prices of certain stocks to predetermined rates, often six dollars and 66 cents ($6.66).There have been no arrests, but the postal service has released a sketch of a man being sought in connection with the mailings.Federal agents from the F-B-I, A-T-F and the Postal Service are investigating.
The genius must have set the clock at 6:66
Wow, put one of the CSI cast on this one....
Wouldn't that make him the Unbomber or the Nonbomber.
Finally an impotent Bishop
From Crime Scene Blog (many more details too)
I'd like to know how they got a sketch - someone must have video of him mailing a package...
I don't know if I'd compare him to the Unabomer. The Unbomber's bombs went off.
