Pipe destroyed at UAH suspect's home

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Police in Huntsville used a robot to destroy a suspicious piece of pipe found in the home of Amy Bishop, who's accused of killing three people at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and wounding three others.

Police went to her home Friday with a search warrant and found a piece of PVC pipe capped at both ends. A robot detonated the pipe. Police Supervisor John Turis said it turned out not to be dangerous and there were no bomb-making materials found.

Bishop and her husband were questioned in the attempted pipe bombing of a Harvard professor in 1993. Turis told The Huntsville Times that Friday's search was not related.

The husband's attorney, Roy Miller, said a computer and video camera were taken during the search.
