OHIOWA -- A sixth pipe bomb was found in a Nebraska mailbox, this time in a residential neighborhood, taking to 14 the total number of mailbox bombs discovered across the Midwest since Friday, authorities said Sunday.

An anti-government note found with the bombs warned of more "attention getters," and federal authorities described the apparently random bomb placements as an act of domestic terrorism.

No arrests had been made in the case by Sunday.
