| Explosives found in vehicle at Fort Gordon GA |
| 2010-06-16 |
| Authorities say a man was arrested after explosives were found in a vehicle on an Army base in Georgia and the FBI is investigating. A spokesman for Fort Gordon near Augusta said Wednesday military authorities are not treating the case as a terrorist threat. Spokesman Buz Yarnell gave few other details. A news conference was scheduled at Fort Gordon later Wednesday. Yarnell said a search of the civilian's vehicle Tuesday uncovered a knapsack containing military hand grenades. He said the man arrested is a suspect in a theft of military equipment from Fort Gordon in April. FBI spokesman Steve Emmett in Atlanta said federal charges are forthcoming but he does not expect them to involve explosives or terrorism. It will be interesting to see if the perp's name is "Sgt. Bubba Wayne Smith" or "Pvt. Abdul Muhammed Akbar Jihad." |

| #4 Think I saw a picture posted somewhere - definitely looked like Bubba. Maybe meth-head Bubba. |

| #2 There was a theft of large coils of copper wire (worth thousands upon thousands )in recent years. BTW why assume it's a Private or junior enlisted? Think bigger. To begin with I'd assume SFC and above, as was the copper wire thief. Army threw a rug over it. And Nadal Hasan was no private. |
