A provincial university librarian cycled for more than 2km with a bomb strapped under the saddle of her bicycle, the latest intended target of the man known as Italy's Unabomber.
For 12 years, he has taunted police in the same way as the US' Ted Kaczynksi, now serving a life sentence. As the details of the Italian bomber's latest, failed operation have emerged, they have indicated that it was perhaps his most bizarre so far.
The intended victim, a 38-year-old librarian at the University of Padua, discovered the bomb on Saturday afternoon. The woman, from Portogruaro, near Venice, who has not been named by police, was quoted in Italian media reports on Monday as saying that she had decided to take her bike out for a ride.
