The Houston Chronicle reports:

A package left at a women’s clinic that performs abortions contained an explosive device capable of inflicting serious injury or death, investigators said today.

“It was in fact an explosive device,” said David Carter, assistant chief of the Austin Police Department. “It was configured in such a way to cause serious bodily injury or death.”

The package was found Wednesday in a parking lot outside the Austin Women’s Health Center, south of downtown Austin.

Nearby Interstate 35 was briefly closed, and a nearby apartment complex was evacuated while a bomb squad detonated the device.

Yes, it are definitely not just Muslim extremists who are willing to use terrorism to further their cause. I sincerely hope that they will get the thugs who left the bomb at the clinic and punish them severely on terrorism charges.

Let me just add that pro-lifers and pro-life organizations would do right to speak out against this.

UPDATE:
Reader Steve S. e-mailed me the link to today’s Hugh Hewitt show. Hugh called it “an act of terrorism.”
