OPELIKA, Alabama (CNN) -- Federal and local authorities said Tuesday that a bomb that injured an Episcopal priest in Opelika, Alabama, was a homemade device planted "to kill someone."
The Rev. Mike Schnatterly, 40, remained in fair condition Tuesday after the bomb, contained in a cardboard box and left on the back of his Ford Mustang, exploded Monday when he picked it up.
"It is a vicious device, an anti-personnel device designed to kill, designed to murder," said ATF agent James Cavanaugh.
Cavanaugh said the FBI, ATF and local police would continue
to investigate. He said police protection had been provided
for Schnatterly, who remained in East Alabama Medical Center,
as well as for his wife and two small children.
Judge disallows audio recording in Jordan slaying case
LUMBERTON, North Carolina (CNN) -- An audio recording of a man accused of killing Michael Jordan's father will not be allowed as evidence in the trial, a judge ruled Tuesday. Daniel Andre Green's attorney argued the audio, of Green allegedly singing a rap song about homicide, was irrelevant.
The judge put off a decision on the video part of the tape, which shows Green wearing two rings and a watch that Jordan identified as items he gave to his father, James.
The other man in the videotape, Larry Demery, has pleaded guilty to James Jordan's murder in July 1993 and has agreed to testify against Green.

New Mexico forest fire, where Flock was a supervisor for the
U.S. Forest Service.
