FBI: Bomb Found On Federal Witness' Car

[DoYouEverWonder]

January 14, 2007

HIALEAH, Fla. -- A pipe bomb was found Sunday attached to the car of a federal witness and later detonated without incident, authorities said.

The witness drove his vehicle to the Hialeah police headquarters after noticing the device, FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said.

"He was driving around," she said. "He somehow saw something on his car that was suspicious and drove it to the Hialeah Police Department."

The Miami-Dade bomb squad detonated the device, and the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force was investigating, Orihuela said.

Lucky fellow. I wonder what trial he's a witness for?

1. I think if I found a bomb on my car, I would not drive it anywhere

but that's just me.

2. You know, I've always wondered what happened to Little Timmy from the Lassie show...

I guess he eventually found his own way out of the old abandoned mineshaft. He probably should have just stayed there...

5. Probably not a pipe bomb ...

My built-in bullshit detector is beeping at me.

Bomb squad gets to use a new toy to plant C4 next to the "thing". Then blow the car to smithereens, end of evidence chain.

My guess is it was a "safe" for carrying a spare key outside the vehicle, that a prior owner had installed. Or the owner is running an insurance scam, collecting after the cops blow up the car.
