Bomb found at women’s clinic – CNN.com

Normally an attempted terrorist attack on U.S. soil would be highly publicized, but if it wasn’t for Digg.com I would never have found out about the following story: Bomb found at women’s clinic – CNN.com.

My wife tells me that abortion clinic bombings used to be big news, but I saw little evidence of this story outside of CNN, which had a link on its home page. The New York Times doesn’t seem to have covered the story; neither does Fox; the Boston Globe simply carried an AP wire; and I’ve been unable to locate the story in MSNBC’s “Crime and Punishment” or “US Security” sections.

I think it would be safe to assume that the terrorist (a man has been arrested) is a fundamentalist Christian. If he’d been Muslim I wonder if the news coverage would have been more intense?
