Dennis Feinstein, a 22-year-old American tourist from Stockton, Calif., was released from jail yesterday and put aboard a plane for the United States. He was arrested 10 days ago and held without bail on suspicion that he was implicated in mailing letter bombs addressed to President Nixon, Secretary of State William P. Rogers and Defense Secretary Melvin Laird, The letter bombs were discovered at the Kiryat Shemona post office and Feinstein was arrested the same day while allegedly trying to cross the Lebanese border not far from the village.
Police who are continuing their investigation of the letter bombs were apparently convinced last week that Feinstein was not involved. They described the youth as mentally unbalanced, however, and decided that he should be returned to the US. (Arab circles in London disclosed last week that a letter bomb was spotted by a staff member at the Egyptian Embassy there and that the police were informed.)
