Austin serial bomber

The city of Austin is on extreme alert, holding their breath for another attack by the serial bomber. They've had five bombings in three weeks.

Austin police say a sixth reported explosion tonight was not a bomb. Emergency crews responded to a Goodwill in south Austin on Brodie Lane. They said an employee found two military artillery simulators in a box of donations.  That employee handed them off to another employee, who handled the item and was hurt. Austin police say they have no reason to believe this was a copycat.

Two package bombs discovered at shipping facilities earlier today are related to the serial bomber. This morning, a package bomb detonated at a FedEx facility in Schertz near San Antonio. Austin police investigated another suspicious package that did not go off at a FedEx in Austin.

Security expert Hanan Yadin is on the Factor to talk about the possibility of copycat bombers and why it‘s taking so long to catch this serial bomber.
