The Nation : Bail Denied in Bombings

Share via

A U.S. magistrate in Pensacola, Fla., denied bail for two men accused of the Christmas Day bombing of three abortion clinics, saying he had no assurances there would not be further attacks. Magistrate Robert Crongeyer ordered that Matthew Goldsby and James Simmons, both 21, be held for federal grand jury action. Goldsby and Simmons, both Pentecostal Christians, have confessed to planting the bombs. The clinics were unoccupied at the time of the blasts and no one was hurt.
