SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Convicted Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski wants the U.S. government to return a pipe bomb and other items seized from his Montana cabin so that they can be used for "research," according to court papers made public on Monday.

Kaczynski, serving a life sentence for killing three people and injuring 23 others in a 17-year bombing campaign, also asked for his books, personal papers and chemicals used in making bombs.

He wanted most of the material sent to the University of Michigan where it could be studied by "serious researchers," the court documents, filed a week ago with the U.S. District Court in Sacramento, showed.

1. Research...right...

"Let me research a way to blow a hole in these walls and GTFO!" :P

Well, I have to ask what there is to research...they're just bombs. Wouldn't the better place to store this stuff be at ATF, where they can use it to train agents, etc.? :shrug:

3. well, if this is evidence vital to an appeal he might be right

I'm not sure about the procedural rules, but his counsel probably does have some right to examine evidence that may be vital to an appeal if that's really what he's up to
