A doctor who carried out a second post-mortem examination on the body of Timothy Hampton says the nuclear expert's fall from the UN building in Vienna was murder.

A Bosnian arrested in an apparent plot to bomb the U.S. Embassy in Vienna seems confused and in the past received psychiatric care, Austrian officials said Tuesday as they tried to determine a motive for the botched attempt. Asim C., a 42-year-old unemployed Bosnian, was arrested Monday after his bag -- grenades, plastic explosives and bits of metal -- set off a detector at the embassy entrance, which is fortified and guarded by U.S. Marines. He fled on foot, but was captured nearby after tossing the backpack into the street. It did not explode, and no one was injured.
