NSW:Police 'strong case' against bomb suspect

A 50-year-old Australian man arrested in the United States will face court tonight
over the MADELEINE PULVER bomb hoax.

PAUL "DOUG" PETERS was arrested by the FBI at his ex-wife's property in Louisville,
Kentucky, about 5.30am Sydney time.

He's being held on provisional warrants for aggravated break and enter, committing
a felony and kidnapping offences.

NSW Police Assistant Commissioner DAVE HUDSON has told a news conference there's a
chain of circumstantial evidence against the man, who has some links to the PULVER family.

He's believed to be the only suspect in the attack by an balaclava-clad intruder on
18-year-old MADELEINE in her luxury Mosman home on Sydney's lower north shore.
