[BRIEF NOTE] Alexander Keith, Dynamite Fiend

[rfmcdonald]

Alexander Keith, nephew of the famed Nova Scotia brewer of the same name, was apparently an international terrorist, as Ann Larrabee explains in her new book Dynamite Fiend. Had it not been for the premature detonation of a time bomb intended to destroy the S.S. Mosel, he might have gone undetected. As things stand, his botched suicide attempt led to the discovery of his remarkable criminal life, summarized by William Grimes in the International Herald Tribune.
