Men could face terrorism-related and weapons charges after officials say explosive ‘had been lit but failed to function’
Authorities in Utah say two men have been arrested on suspicion of placing an incendiary device under a news media vehicle in Salt Lake City. The bomb didn’t go off.
Police and fire department bomb squads responded on Friday when a suspicious device was found under the vehicle parked near an occupied building.
Investigators determined the bomb “had been lit but failed to function as designed”, according to court records cited by CBS affiliate KUTV.
“Had been lit”, was it like a stick of dynamite?
In the guardian one line sort of suggested an incendiary, but then later in searching the house they said explosive material. There is a huge difference between actual explosives and incendiaries. Gasoline and dynamite are completely different animals.
i don’t trust the news to get the difference between high explosives, explosives, firebombs, and potato guns.
Is there any difference between high and sober explosives other than quantity?
gotta pack em in fent
Probably one of the round ones with the fuse coming out of the top. My understanding from TV is that modern dynamite isn’t lit but set off with a plunger or twisty mechanism attached to wires.
