Federal agents are questioning two men after a routine early morning traffic stop in East Anchorage turned up four pipe bombs in their car.
Around 3 a.m., an officer pulled over an Oldsmobile sedan for a missing driver’s-side mirror, police said. During the stop, the officer ran the name of the driver and the passenger and discovered the passenger was on probation for a drug offense, according to Anchorage Police Lt. Dave Koch.
The officer then called his probation officer, and the probation officer authorized a search of the car — something probation and parole officers can do without a warrant.
That’s when police found the pipe bombs between the front seats and in a box on the back seat.
This happened just a few blocks from my house too!
No word on whether terrorists, Al-Qaeda, William Ayers, Chavez, Democrats, librarians, PETA, Nuns, Morman Tabernacle Choir, Code Pink, Basketball Jones, or my son is involved.
Sorry, I get tired of hearing whether or not terrorists/Al-Qaeda is involved everytime some idiot gets caught with explosives or an accident happens.
