Tuesday Morning Scoop: Bomb Mystery Deepens
Another Explosion In Texas Deepens Bombing Mystery
A package exploded just after midnight at a FedEx building near San Antonio, TX and officials are assuming it is linked to four bombings that killed two and injured four in Austin this month, setting the capital on edge at a time when thousands of visitors were in the city for the South by Southwest festival.
FBI special agent Michelle Lee told the Associated Press “it would be silly for us not to admit that we suspect it’s related” to the other bombings. The four homemade devices that exploded in the capital were not sent through the postal service or delivery companies like FedEx or UPS.
Investigators believe the bombings are the work of a person or persons with sophisticated knowledge of explosives.

Last But Not Least: ‘With This Embedded Ring…’
You might need to consult a physician before partaking in this new engagement trend.
Wedding trends have changed drastically over the past few decades, and along with these changes came different engagement ring trends. The newest fad, however, promises a flare with much more permanence: embedding a diamond into the ring finger, skipping the band altogether.
