Yale bomb not international terrorists { May 23 2003 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-yale23.html http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-yale23.html Yale bomb investigators look for clean-shaven man May 23, 2003 BY DIANE SCARPONI NEW HAVEN, Conn.--FBI agents investigating a bombing at Yale University's law school dusted for fingerprints Thursday and showed students a sketch of a man seen leaving the empty classroom just before the blast. The explosive--which investigators believe was a pipe bomb--damaged two rooms Wednesday, and about 300 rare law books in a room below were soaked with water from the sprinkler system. No one was injured. Acting Police Chief Francisco Ortiz said the bomber was ''trying to send a message.'' Law student Carsten Jungmann said he helped the FBI draw a sketch of a man he saw leaving the classroom about two minutes before the explosion. The man was clean-shaven and appeared to be in his 20s or 30s, with black hair that hung just below the ears, Jungmann said. ''He appeared to be not suspicious at the time, but he was moving more quickly than people normally appeared to move through the law school,'' he said. New Haven police spokeswoman Bonnie Winchester said the FBI has identified the man in the sketch. Investigators said that because the bomb appeared to be small, and went off in an empty classroom, the blast was probably not the work of international terrorists. But they said they have not established whether the bomb went off too soon or late or whether it was intended to be more powerful. No threats were made before the explosion, and no one claimed responsibility, police said. Thursday was the birthday of Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber. He is serving a life sentence for attacks that killed three people. One attack maimed Yale professor David Gelernter in 1993. Mayor John DeStefano said there was no indication the birthday and Wednesday's bombing were linked. AP
