A package exploded early Tuesday at a FedEx distribution facility in Texas, news reports said, two days after the latest in a series of blasts in Austin attributed to a serial bomber. The Washington Post, quoting the FBI, reported that the package had been bound for Austin, the state capital. “We’re clearly dealing with what we expect to be a serial bomber at this point,” Austin police chief Brian Manley told reporters. Manley said the use of a tripwire also means police are dealing with someone who “shows a higher level of sophistication, a higher level of skill” than initially believed. An exploding package killed 39-year-old Anthony House on March 2.
