Suspect in abortion doctor death warns of violence

[dkf]

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - The man charged with murdering a high-profile abortion doctor claimed from his jail cell that similar violence was planned around the nation for as long as the procedure remained legal, a threat that comes days after a federal investigation launched into his possible accomplices.

A Justice Department spokesman said the threat was being taken seriously and additional protection had been ordered for abortion clinics last week. But a leader of the anti-abortion movement derided the accused shooter as "a fruit and a lunatic."

Scott Roeder called The Associated Press from the Sedgwick County jail, where he's being held on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in the shooting of Dr. George Tiller one week ago.

"I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal," Roeder said. He would not elaborate.

1. Is this not considered a terrorist threat by law enforcement authorities?

And just WHO has PLANNED these MANY other events?

This criminal has just established conspiracy and premeditation.

3. Sounds like they need to look into operation rescue big time.

5. teabagger organizers ...

I was going to say "teabaggers", but then that would implicate a lot of innocent people who are not involved in the ignorance protests ...
