BOSTON, Feb 9, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- A Massachusetts woman who sells sex toys is accused of striking a blow against men by mailing explosives to a motorcycle gang, strip clubs and others.
Kimberly Lynn Dasilva once worked as a waitress at Alex's and the Foxy Lady, two of her alleged targets, the Boston Globe reported.
An FBI affidavit said Dasilva told agents she "couldn't take it any more" after years of being hurt by men. Investigators said that in a raid at her home in Hull, near Boston, they found letters hidden in a ceiling linking her to the mailings.
The investigation began in September when Bridgewater State College received a package with condoms filled with Drano and gasoline, which can be explosive when combined. The other packages -- addressed to the Outlaws motorcycle gang, a Fox Network affiliate TV station and radio station KISS108 -- were intercepted at the post office.
Investigators have not found any connection between Dasilva and Bridgewater State College.
Dasilva was released on bond after an appearance before a federal magistrate earlier this week.
