...October 14, a bomb goes off on the third-floor library of the CFIA building, but no one is injured. The next day, a women's group called the Proud Eagle Tribe, whose members are unaffiliated with the College, claims responsibility for the bombing, but police are unable to make any arrests.

"Once he showed me a pipe bomb with a white fuse and said, 'I'm going to blow something up.'" Kip would brag about cutting up cats and squirrels and even claimed to have blown up a cow.

Pakistani officials have told the State Department that Prime Minister NAWAZ SHARIF will send a delegation to Washington at the end of May to discuss how India's nuclear tests two weeks ago have affected their security concerns. American officials believe it's unlikely Islamabad would explode its bomb before that meeting. Oddly, this restraint is making India nervous, as shown by New Delhi's bellicose statements about the power of its nuclear blasts and about Kashmir, the Himalayan region that's divided between the countries. The State Department suspects that India, uncomfortable with the condemnation it has received...
