((A search of Theodore Kaczynski's hand built 10 by 12 foot mountian shack
turned up chemicals, meticulous notes on making explosives and a partially
assembled pipe bomb. Kaczynski, 53, a Harvard graduade, former Berkeley math
professor and now the suspected infamous Unabomber was charged in federal
court with possessing the bomb components and ordered held without bail.
The charge made no mention of the alleged Unabomber's string of bombing
attacks which killed three people and injured 23 others over the course of 18
years. The charge was designed to hold Kaczynski while federal agents build a
detailed case.
JANET RENO/U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL:
Kaczynski, thin and seemingly calm, told U.S. District Judge Charles
Lovell that he was mentally competant and couldn't afford his own lawyer.
Federal officials say two manual typewriters have been found in the
cabin. The Unabomber sent many typed messages over the years and
investigators want to see if the imprints match up.
There are 40 boxes that investigators are x-raying before opening,
suspecting that the packages may contain explosives.
A former classmate of Kacyznski's told a Chicago newspaper that even as a
teenager Kaczynski made bombs with household products and metal garbage cans.
In Lincoln, Kacyzinski was known as the 'hermit on the hill and residents
agree that this isolated Montana town is a good place to hideout - until now.
