The FBI on Thursday also issued a mail-bomb alert against any unsolicited mail bearing a postmark from Frankfurt, Germany, while a man was arrested in the Bahamas after he tried to flee when questioned about suspicious equipment he was trying to carry aboard a plane. And the specter of a bomb plot by Canada-based Algerian exiles grew Thursday as a Vermont prosecutor presented evidence linking Lucia Garofalo, arrested Sunday trying to cross into...
