((The first clue that there may be a link between the crimes came from
here...the Department of Energy's National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Metallurgical tests on debris from Atlanta's Olympic Park explosion showed
a similarity between it and fragments left over from two explosions outside
an Atlanta abortion clinic earlier this year ....and a bomb that went off
outside a gay and lesbian nightclub in Atlanta two weeks ago.
Sources tell CBS News it is far to early to say for certain the three
crimes were committed by the same person or persons...but that odds are -
quote- "beginning to shift in that direction."
Investigators say they have two additional forensic tests to finish before
they reach a conclusion...and that one dissimilarity they can't explain is
that the Olympic bomb was made from black powder...while the other two bombs
were constructed from dynamite.
Meanwhile....agents pouring over photographs and video taken in Centennial
park the night of the Olympic bombing have zeroed in on six people they would
like to question. One of the photographs is described as enhanced to the point
of being virtually unrecognizable.
The photographs of five other people, however, are expected to be released
at an FBI news conference in Atlanta next week. The bureau will apparently seek
the public's help in locating the five people, all of whom were near the blast
site .....and two of whom were described as carrying backpacks. The Olympic
bomb was hidden inside a military-style knapsack when it exploded. Jim Stewart,
