SPOKANE, Wash. The grand jury indictment returned Tuesday charges 36-year-old
Kevin Harpham (har'-pum) with attempted use of a weapon of mass
destruction and unauthorized possession of an unregistered
explosive device. Harpham is scheduled to appear Wednesday before a
federal magistrate.
Harpham is from Addy, a town north of Spokane, and has extensive
ties to white supremacist groups.
He is represented by federal public defender Roger Peven, who
tells The Spokesman-Review it's a serious case that he's looking
forward to working on.
The pipe bomb was found the morning of the parade, Jan. 17, and
disabled before it could explode. Harpham was arrested at his home
on March 9.
