Suspected shooter Amy Bishop, 45, and her husband were questioned and had their home searched by cops investigating the pipe bomb mailed to Dr. Paul Rosenberg, the Boston Globe reported Sunday.

Sources told the newspaper that Bishop, a former doctoral student at Harvard, was suspected because she feared getting a bad evaluation from Rosenberg.

On Dec. 19, 1993, a package containing two 6-inch pipe bombs was mailed to Rosenberg's suburban Boston home. No one was injured in the incident, which remains unsolved.

A law enforcement source told the Globe that Rosenberg and her husband were "prime suspects" in the letter bomb plot.

Hubby James Anderson insisted he and his wife were cleared.
