HEADLINE: FBI Discloses Kaczynski's Cabin Contents
BYLINE: BY BOB ANEZ
DATELINE: HELENA, Mont.
BODY:
FBI agents searching Unabomber suspect Theodore Kaczynski's cabin found explosive devices, addresses of corporate executives, maps of San Francisco, bus schedules and guns, according to an inventory released Monday.
In documents released in federal court, the FBI said it seized several unspecified documents and notes.
None of the documents was identified as the original text of the Unabomber manifesto, the 35,000-word tract published by the Washington Post and New York TImes last year. There were unattributed reports last week that agents found what appeared to be the original text of the manifesto in the cabin.
The 34-page list of items found in the cabin was ordered unsealed by U.S. District Judge Charles C. Lovell.
Kaczynski, 53, was arrested at the cabin near Lincoln two weeks ago and is being held on charges of possessing bomb components. He has not been charged with any of the Unabomber attacks, which killed three people and injured 23.
In its list, the FBI did not specifically link any of the more than 600 items to the Unabomber or his crimes.
Dozens of the entries were for chemicals. A pipe bomb was found, as was an "improvised explosive device" in a cardboard box, and five guns.
The list doesn't identify the corporate executives or list the addresses.
FBI agents searching the cabin found the prescription drug trazodone, an antidepressant.
According to the manufacturer's label, trazodone is generally prescribed for people who suffer from major depressive episodes that last for a week or more. There is no indication from the evidence list whether, how long or how often Kacyzinski might have been taking the medication.
The list also described a hooded jacket, a blue zippered sweatshirt and hood and two pairs of plastic glasses. A witness who saw the Unabomber plant one bomb described him as wearing a hooded sweatshirt and aviator glasses.
