ATTACK OF THE MAD(TOWN) BOMBER.

Madison is under attack by what appears to be a serial bomber.

Authorities are investigating three suspicious items found around downtown Madison on Wednesday.

Police said that two suspicious items removed from Madison's sewer system aren't related to an investigation into a string of pipe bombs found in a parking ramp in recent weeks.

At a late afternoon press conference, police spokesman Mike Hanson said that two of the items were uncovered by a bomb squad in the sewer system about a block from the state Capitol. The objects were removed at the intersection of Webster and Main streets.

These two objects were described as resembling piping, WISC-TV reported.

So, there's that.
