I guess this may be the first. Those textfiles are of course just for informational purposes but some people just don't get it I guess... I might give a statement about this textfile as well. This textfile is NOT for informational purposes only, this may save your life. The number of letter-bombs have increased lately, a while ago a swedish anti-racist activist received a video tape which turned out to contain a lethal bomb which would have exploded if he had tried to play the tape. In Denmark, Germany and in the USA people have been killed by letter-bombs. So if you think someone is after you, you have every reason to be careful. A few years ago you could safely assume that a letter weighing below 100 grammes would not contain a bomb big enough to kill. But with electronics and batteries getting smaller and with more powerful explosives this has changed. A lethal letter can now weigh far less that 100 grammes! You may receive several false bombs, just to irritate and scare you as well as putting you off your guard when the real bomb shows up. Here are some good advice to follow: * Watch out for unexpected letters but be especially careful when you receive a letter or parcel from someone you think you know. It is not unusual for bombers to use the address of a known organization or individual and there have been cases where envelopes containing letter-bombs have looked like a genuine mailing from an organization or company. * If you are uncertain about a letter that looks genuine, call the sender and find out before you open the letter. Better safe than sorry... If you receive a letter that is suspicious, don't hesitate to call the police. The police will not complain about being called out if it turns out to be a false alarm. * Most important, do *not* mess with something you think is a bomb. You don't know how to disarm it - very few people do - and if you start messing with it, you are likely to end up in a hospital, or worse. Police bomb squads have trained personnel and the necessary equipment to deal with a bomb, and even they do not try to tamper with it or try to disarm it. The usual procedure is to let it go off, safely. * The same procedure applies to small "firecracker" bombs. A small bomb may not kill you but it can do a lot of damage including severe burns, loss of eyesight or forced amputation of a hand or arm. * If you absolutely feel that you have to open the parcel or letter, try to open it carefully and look for any signs that may hint that it is a bomb, like electric wires, batteries and so on. If you find anything like that, leave it and call the police. Always open it from the other side than usual, then it may not go off. This saved Hagge Geigert, a swedish media personality. That was the most important things I had to say, and remember the golden rule: Better safe than sorry. And let's be careful out there! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This file is (c)opyrighted material, but spreading is free under some conditions.
