Popular Boston Radio Host A Mob Target?
Sunday, March 12, 2006
A former enforcer for fugitive mobster James "Whitey" Bulger claims he once tried to kill Boston Herald columnist and radio talk show host Howie Carr. In an interview to be broadcast Sunday on "60 Minutes," Kevin Weeks says he and Bulger decided to kill Carr because he constantly wrote and spoke about their crimes. Weeks says that after he and Bulger abandoned a plan to put an exploding basketball in Carr's driveway, they decided to shoot him. They never went through with it. Carr acknowledges the possibility that Weeks may have tried to kill him, but believes Bulger was more likely to commit such a bold crime. (Courtesy: Associated Press)
