ROME, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Italian police are searching for a serial bomber responsible for planting tiny charges inside children's candy, The Independent said Thursday. The most recent incident by the person Italian media has dubbed the "Unabomber" struck Wednesday in the town of Treviso, where schoolchildren found a Kinder Surprise sitting on a low wall. The chocolate covering had been removed, and the children were kicking the yellow plastic egg-shaped toy around when it exploded. There were no injuries and police found a second similar device nearby. | Bet he was hoping they would try to open it to get the little toy inside. I know my Kinder Eggs. |
The first of the serial attacks came in August 1994, when a pipe-bomb exploded at a country fair. Then in 2000 the tactics changed, when tiny bombs began turning up in supermarket products, such as a tube of tomato puree, mayonnaise, a candle and sandwich spread. No one has been killed in the spree, although several people have been maimed, including one woman who lost an arm.
The Italian media named the bomber after Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, the murderous U.S. mail bomber who was tracked down after a 17-year hunt and is serving four life sentences. | Find him, shove one of his little "surprises" up his butt, then kick him around the schoolyard for awhile |
