Hello,

Here we see the delusions of grandeur that a "christian" upbringing imparts. A murderer or wannabe murderer is busily playing terrorist in anticipation of some more murders in the name of god....and isn't even bright enough to be sneaky.

Sincerely,
Caroline

Canada paper receives anti-abortion threat-police

VANCOUVER, Dec 1 (Reuters) - An anti-abortion activist who may be linked to deadly sniper attacks on doctors who perform abortions in the United States and Canada has mailed a package to a newspaper threatening violence, police said on Tuesday.

The package sent to the Hamilton Spectator newspaper in Ontario from Vancouver included montage-style pictures of a doctor and a police officer both with a gun pointed at their head, according to police said.

It is the seventh similar package mailed or hand delivered to the newspaper since Dec. 1997. The paper's staff identified the deliverer as James Kopps, who is wanted for questioning about the killing of Dr. Barnett Slepian in Amherst, New York, a suburb of Buffalo.

"Investigators believe the packages came from the same source," said a statement from the Winnipeg Police, who are directing the Canadian side of the joint task force on the shootings.

The task force is trying to determine if the gunman who shot Slepian on Oct. 23, is the same person responsible for sniper attacks on abortion providers in Ancaster, Ontario, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Rochester, New York, since 1994.

The other packages received by the Hamilton newspaper since the Slepian killing included a map of where the doctors who perform abortions have been attacked and a threat of additional violence in the Vancouver area.
