4 similar pipe bombs found in Salem, Dallas

SALEM - Police detonated a pipe bomb that was found under a car in the Salem Hospital parking garage Thursday, and three other explosive devices were discovered later in the day.

Thursday evening, police evacuated the Tyco circuit board plant in Dallas after a pipe bomb was found in the parking lot. A Tyco employee noticed the bomb mixed in with cars in the lot adjacent to the plant, Dallas Police Chief Jim Harper said. Harper said 60 to 70 employees were evacuated and the Oregon State Police bomb squad detonated the bomb. There were no injuries.

A woman discovered the first bomb when she returned to her car just before noon and spotted a wire on her side mirror. When she pulled at the wire, a pipe bomb rolled out from underneath, Lt. William Kohlmeyer of the Salem Police Department said. The Salem police bomb squad destroyed the device about 2 p.m.

A supermarket manager discovered the second bomb in a parking lot, about 30 yards from the store. The Oregon State Police bomb squad detonated that one.

Salem police Lt. Debbie Baker said a passing motorist found a third device in southeast Salem, and it was detonated Thursday night.

Autistic teen's recruiter will be reassigned

PORTLAND - A U.S. Army recruiter who signed up an autistic Portland teenager has been relieved of his recruiting duties and will be reassigned.

S. Douglas Smith, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Recruiting Command in Fort Knox, Ky., said an investigation found that Cpl. Ronan Ansley concealed the recruit's disability, which would have made him ineligible for service.

Military officials also admonished Sgt. Alejandro Velasco, who worked with Ansley at a recruiting station.

Groom's shattered leg doesn't stop wedding

SPOKANE - The surgery was done, the groom woke up from the anesthetic and an hour later he was saying his marriage vows.

Jared Darr and Amanda McCadden, students at Eastern Washington University in nearby Cheney, were married on schedule, if not as they had planned, Wednesday evening in a gray-carpeted conference room at Deaconness Medical Center, hours after a car crash that shattered the groom's leg.

They said they had not kissed during their six-month engagement.

``I just want to kiss her so bad, and there's no way I'm going to put it off,'' Darr said, lying pale and on painkillers shortly before the ceremony.

Darr, 21, and McCadden, 23, had just picked up an archway for their wedding reception at the groom's father's house when their car T-boned another car at a four-way intersection about 10 a.m. Wednesday.
