Source: Desert News

SALT LAKE CITY — Two men were arrested after police found an explosive device under a news media vehicle on Friday.

Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, were both arrested for investigation of manufacturing or possessing a weapon of mass destruction, threat of terrorism, attempted aggravated arson, and possessing or removing incendiary items and their parts, according to a police booking affidavit.

The Salt Lake City Police Department Bomb Squad and the Unified Fire Authority Arson/Bomb Squad responded to a suspicious device on Friday in Salt Lake City.

Police say they found the device placed under a news media vehicle parked next to an occupied building and determined it to be a real explosive device. It “had been lit but failed to function as designed,” according to the affidavit.

That's the story TPTB are going with, again, right?

Right-wingers seem to blame transgender people when they stub their toes nowadays.

Do you really think someone with nearly 12,000 posts here since 2003 is going to just spew trump's lies? What is wrong with you?

If you don’t know where it is, type it yourself — no spaces — colon the word sarcasm colon, as demonstrated in my subject line using spaces.

If it were a major media real news outfit they'd ignore it.

It's not like they were going to report anything that really happened, so why bother?

Faux-Snooze van saves the day.
A Faux-Snooze van prevented an explosive device from blasting western states into the Pacific by sucking up all the oxygen. Faux-Snooze reporters have uncovered evidence of this being a left wing conspiracy. Local leaders have confirmed they are searching voter records to locate any Democrats.

It was from the local Fox affiliate channel 13. One is an over the air broadcast network while the other is on cable.
