Sources: Rudolph planted dynamite near agents' HQ

[Rose Siding]

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Eric Rudolph stashed dynamite near a building that government agents used as a headquarters during the huge manhunt for the serial bomber, federal sources close to the case told The Associated Press today.

Agents believe that while he was a fugitive, Rudolph left a large stash of dynamite near a National Guard armory that served as a temporary base for agents during the search for Rudolph near Murphy, N.C., a federal official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The exact proximity of the explosives to the armory is not known, but the official said the cache was close enough to the building to have caused damage had it exploded.

Another federal source said bomb components were found buried near the armory — located near woods about two miles outside of Murphy — but officials weren't sure how long they had been in the ground. The device "wasn't operational," but contained all the pieces of a bomb, the source said, also speaking on condition of anonymity.

9. White people cannot be considered "terrorists."

Only black and brown people -- even if they are uncharged and/or innocent.

8. Thank God that was all of it!

Er...at least he told us that was all of it. We really, really, really think it was. Of course he's a terrist murderer and a terrist murderer would never commit the serious act of lying to us would he?

10. If Timothy McVeigh Got Death

Why the hell doesn't this one? Equal rights for domestic terrorists! I am not thinking justice is being served here.
