AUSTIN — A package left at a clinic that performs abortions contained an explosive device that investigators said Thursday could have been deadly.
The incident came just days after a national abortion group alerted providers around the country to an increased risk of violence.
The device, found in a duffle bag Wednesday, "was configured in such a way to cause serious bodily injury or death," said David Carter, assistant chief of the Austin Police Department.

"We know that when abortion is in the news, we also see clinics targeted for increased violence and disruption," said Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation. The group put out a memo to abortion providers around the country, asking them to be on alert.
Some real, honest-to-GOD religious terra in the homeland, but too bad it's Austin Texas. The last time Homeland security cared about Austin was when the honorable, Tom DeLay, got them to track Democratic legislators who broke quorum and flew to Oklahoma to prevent a re-redistricting vote.
