U.S. postal service employee delivers mail in Omaha, Nebraska 
Five pipe bombs were found in mailboxes in the midwestern U.S. state of Nebraska on Saturday, sparking more fears a day after six people were injured by pipe bombs exploding in rural mailboxes in Illinois and Iowa.

 The bombs discovered Saturday were in the south-central part of Nebraska. None of them exploded, but at least one note was found that appeared similar to those found with Friday's bombs.

 Federal authorities say they have some leads into who may have planted the pipe bombs Friday, but they do not yet know how many people are responsible. FBI agents are terming the bombings acts of domestic terrorism. The bombs were accompanied by anti-government statements and a note saying more "attention-getters" are on the way.

 Four postal workers and two residents were injured by the pipe bombs Friday, but none of the injuries was life-threatening.

 Rural mail delivery was suspended Saturday in the area where Friday's bombs were found. Postal officials in Washington have warned postal workers across the country to be cautious, saying this may not be a local problem.

World events are historic steps in the purpose and plan of God. The outcome of history is up to man - restricted only by sovereign limits imposed by God. The future events are consequences resulting from mankind exercising the gift of intelligence and free will in response to situations developing from past events. This human response is either synchronized to His Will or in rebellion to His Will. Behavior is either the manifestation of love or it's opposite - hate. As Christians we should be involved through loving (caring attitude and behavior for others) actions empowered by prayer, understanding, and submission to His Will.
