Bombing Suspect Reaches California

Theodore Kaczynski, the suspect in the Unabomber attacks, arrived in California under heavy guard Sunday on a flight from Montana to face federal charges.

Kaczynski was moved to a downtown jail shortly before noon in a caravan of seven security vehicles, one of them a black, armored utility vehicle, said U.S. Marshal Jerry Enomoto.

Kaczynski was placed in a special federal unit at the downtown Sacramento County jail about six blocks from the federal courthouse, sheriff’s officers said.

Kaczynski was flown from Montana to Sacramento’s Mather Field aboard a small jet operated by the marshal’s service, Enomoto said.

Enomoto had said Friday that Kaczynski would not arrive until Monday evening.

“That information was given in good faith, but Montana could not accommodate that schedule,” Enomoto said Sunday, adding that the problem was logistical and that no threats had been received against Kaczynski.

Kaczynski was indicted in Sacramento on Tuesday on 10 counts of transporting, mailing and using bombs. The indictment involves four Sacramento-linked attacks, two of them fatal.
