FBI Wants to Talk to 22-Year-Old About Pipebombs
Tue May 7, 1:14 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI (news - web sites) asked local police to be on the lookout for a 22-year-old man who the law enforcement agency wants to talk to about the pipebombs found in mailboxes in a number of states across the country, FBI officials said on Tuesday.
They said an all-points bulletin went out from the FBI to local police for Luke John Helder, who was described as armed and dangerous. The officials emphasized he has not been charged in connection with the pipebombs.
Helder, who is white, was driving a dark gray or black 1992 four-door Honda accord with Minnesota license plate number EZL 783, the officials said. They did not know where he was from.
Six people have been injured by the exploding devices in what the FBI has branded an act of domestic terrorism.
The bombs first showed up in country mailboxes in western Illinois and eastern Iowa on Friday, where eight bombs were found. Eight more bombs were found across Nebraska on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Similar pipebombs then were discovered in Colorado and Texas.
