A federal grand jury Tuesday indicted Unabomber suspect Theodore Kaczynski in the 1994 mail bomb slaying of an ad executive, giving prosecutors a second case that could carry the death penalty.
Kaczynski has now been charged in all three deaths attributed to the Unabomber and with eight bombings in six states that left 23 injured over 18 years.
The Berkeley math-professor-turned-recluse was charged with transporting a bomb from Montana to San Francisco, then mailing it to Thomas J. Mosser's home in North Caldwell, N.J. When Mosser opened the package, it exploded, killing the 50-year-old executive vice president of Young & Rubicam Inc.
The bombing was the only one for which the Unabomber publicly claimed responsibility. In a letter published in The New York Times, he said Mosser, in his former job with the public relations firm Burson-Marsteller, ``helped Exxon clean up its public image'' after the Exxon Valdez spill.
Burson-Marsteller has denied working on the spill for Exxon.
Kaczynski, 54, was arrested by federal agents at his Montana cabin April 3. The Justice Department said it would prosecute the New Jersey case after he is tried in Sacremento, Calif.
