Attempted women's health clinic bomber has a rap sheet

The Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested Paul Ross Evans Friday in connection with a pipe bomb found at Austin Women's Clinic.

Evans, 27, was arrested in Austin and will face federal charges, including using weapons of mass destruction.

Evans was on parole at the time of arrest and was placed in federal custody.

Investigators said the homemade explosive was made with two pounds of nails, a propane cylinder and a rocket motor to set it off.

Here's something from 2002 that I found interesting:

Police have arrested a suspect in connection with two armed robberies and some burglaries that happened Wednesday morning in Lufkin.

Paul Ross Evans, 22, of Lufkin was arrested by Montgomery County Sheriff's officers at a hotel in Humble, near Houston, Thursday night. Lufkin Police believe he's responsible for holding up the Total Convenience Store on South First Street and the Whataburger on North Timberland around 4 am Wednesday morning.

Both times, the robber was caught on surveillance videotape. Lufkin police had already questioned Evans earlier this week as a possible suspect.

Authorities in Montgomery County found Evans in the hotel in Humble after he was involved in an car accident. Evans remains in a Houston hospital with injuries he suffered in that accident.

Something seems funny here, I don't know if Evans acted alone, I have a feeling that the bomb may have been a present from the 'Army of God' or some other fringe RW group.

I was just going to post this. I live in Austin.

Get hooked up with violent right-wing ideologies in the joint. When they get out, they are welcomed with open arms.

Some fringe right-wing groups have also financed themselves through robberies and other crimes.

Maybe he was part of something else. Who knows? :shrug:

Don Treshman, for one. I had to look at those SOBs in court many years ago when Planned Parenthood sued them in 1992, and they are verrrrry scary.

I had the distinct horror of having to be in the same courtroom as Randall Terry, Flip Benham, and other domestic terrorists.
