| Police remove ordnance from park |
| 2005-08-03 |
| Australia - BOMB Squad officers in Perth are removing an explosive object from underneath a bench in an inner-city park, police say. The object was not a bomb, a police spokesman said, describing it instead as military or commercial ordnance. The object was found under a chair at Langley Park, between Perth CBD and the Swan River about 11am (WST) today. Police closed a section of Plain Street between Adelaide Terrace and Riverside Drive while dealing with the incident. |

| #2 I suspect what they are saying is that they found explosives, perhaps Dynamite like you might legitimately use for lets say clearing stumps on a ranch, without a detonator or timer hence its not a bomb. At the same time who the hell leaves a bunch of explosives under and bench! I suspect that getting commercial explosives is just as hard as it is in the US and you have to show a legitimate reason, provide ID, an address etc and this all needs to be checked out. You are then hardly going to walk home with your explosives, stop to feed the pigeons, and then forget your package of TNT. Definitely something fishy. Probably some jihadi thought he got burned and dumped his package. |
