SNIPPET: "SPOKANE -- Police are continuing to investigate an explosion that hit a northside neighborhood early Sunday morning.

The explosion happened near the intersection of Eloika and A Street leaving one home damaged and neighbors' yards littered with debris from the bomb."

SNIPPET: "Whatever the device was it was strong enough to blow out the windows and tear away the eaves on the house as well as blow out Angel Garcia's basement window next door."

SNIPPET: "Spokane Police say a witness saw somebody run up to the house and then run away. A few seconds later the house was rocked by the explosion."

SNIPPET: "Whatever the explosive device was next door, it left dozens of melted burnt pieces of white plastic scattered throughout Angel Garcia's yard and on her roof. It was evidence that detectives were collecting from around the home Sunday.

The pieces of plastic found scattered about is being tested to figure out what kind of device was used."

Yep. Too few details right now for any connection, so posted for archival purposes.

Good connection.

I was thinking the same thing, considering that the Walla Walla incident does not indicate when the explosives were taken. You beat me to it, by about 10 minutes.

Spokane Police say a witness saw somebody run up to the house and then run away. A few seconds later the house was rocked by the explosion.

“I can’t honestly tell you how many people live in that house because people come and go all the time and there’s always different people there everyday of the week, so I don’t know who lives there and who doesn’t,” Garcia said. http://www.kxly.com/Global/story.asp?S=10841287

This is how Outlaw Bikers *used to* solve their 'differences'.
Don't know the demographics of this particular area, just saying.

I believe biker gangs and gangs in general still use those tactics — unknown at this time what the situation is regarding this incident.
