NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Police stopped a motorist driving a car full of explosives in Connecticut late Tuesday, FOX 61 reported.

Police said the car was carrying pipe bombs, rifles and a propane tank when they found it in New Haven at 11:30 p.m.

[PissAndVinegar]

Searched and found older threads about explosives in CT but not this....what's going on up there?!?!

[SlowBoat407]

Ping

[SueRae]

A Mercedes at that...sounds familiar.

[b4its2late]

Whoa. That could’ve been a big blowed up.

[PaleoBob]

Amish driver?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Driver with the handle of Mohammad...MMMM>...?

[b4its2late]

Police arrested a suspect, but they did not release his name, FOX 61 reported.

Any guesses?

[Puppage]

It was a pipe bomb & a propane tank. Hardly filled with explosives. WTNH also identified the perp as a victim

[edcoil]

So they “stopped” it, in the next sentence they “found” it

What was the PC for stopping the car?

“Police arrested a suspect, but they did not release his name, FOX 61 reported.”

hmmmmm...why not?

[paulycy]

I *think* this is the Scotland mercedes car bomb that didn't go off on the day that terrorist rammed the hospital.

Wonder if they are comrades...

[Global2010]

Just your average coed going back to University/school.

Bet they found weenie raincoats too.

No worries.

[MaxMax]

This proves Obama is thwarting terrorism. All hail the Messiah.

[thefactor]

PC for stopping the car? how about a normal traffic violation? works for me.

[Guenevere]

bttt

[IrishPennant]

Gee...you can find those same things in every truck on opening day of deer season down here in Mississippi.

[Global2010]

Your kid?

[Allegra]

Police arrested a suspect, but they did not release his name, FOX 61 reported.

We can probably guess that.

[Global2010]

Wayne? or DaWayne.

[PissAndVinegar]

Alot of mis-information:

that article says ‘bomb’ singular.

This article says “bombs” plural and the car was parked:
http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local-beat/Explosive-Find-Sends-Residents-From-Houses-63662187.html

This one also says ‘Bombs’ but that the car was stopped (I assume as in pulled over by Police):

[Mr. Jazzy]

Just another “isolated incident”.

Nothing to see here, move along people, move along ...

[Adder]

Maybe Mohammed Wayne Achmed?

Police said the car was carrying pipe bombs, rifles and a propane tank when they found it in New Haven at 11:30 p.m.

Same stuff the Columbine pair had, but they didn't drive a Mercedes.

[SueRae]

????

I was thinking about the Mercedes that was loaded but didn’t go off..in Scotland.

My kid? Maybe someday I’ll have a Mercedes...but it will be long after my ‘kid’ is off my payroll.

[Global2010]

Yep or commercial fishing docks were the oversized dachsaunds are laying all over the docks.

Canned Seal meat it is what good Americans eat. :)

[Allegra]

Maybe Mohammed Wayne Achmed?

Good one! "Wayne" is the new "Hussein?"

[Will88]

Gee...you can find those same things in every truck on opening day of deer season down here in Mississippi.

Well, maybe the rifles and propane, but do they use pipe bombs on the deer in Mississippi?

[Erik Latranyi]

Two possibilities:

1) Police and media over-reaction

—or—

2) Real threat

[Puppage]

I noticed that as well. Great reporting, or so it seems.

[FreedomPoster]

OK, LOL at the “Wayne” reference. A sure sign of a mass-murderer.

[IrishPennant]

You’re right....the pipe bombs are supposed to be in the tackle box...my bad :)

[Global2010]

oh I did not /sarc.

You said sound familiar.

On another not Mercedes? As in Benz?

So poor pimp like.

Maybe because I live in gotta love my truck, Jeep, SUV part of the USA.

Folks around these parts dont drive cars and certainly not a Benz...we drive Jeeps and big ass diesal trucks.

Those are not “pipe bombs”, those are dehydrated sausages. The reason they triggered a response from the bomb detectors is they were made down Louisiana way by Thebedeau & Beudereau and are hot sausages.

[IronJack]

The driver was no doubt a Presbyterian sympathizer who had recently trained at a camp in Maryland.

[Will88]

You’re right....the pipe bombs are supposed to be in the tackle box...my bad :)

LOl, I understand now, but you didn't say anything about fishing at first.

[IrishPennant]

Hahaha...”Seal. It’s what’s for dinner.”

[RikaStrom]

Police said the car was carrying pipe bombs, rifles and a propane tank when they found it in New Haven at 11:30 p.m.

Why is lately, that every time I read these type things, it implies that the car did it, all by itself?

Besides that, I am glad that the suspect, not the car, is in custody.

The area where it was found is heavily hispanic. My bet - gang related more than terrorism.

(Though I personally believe that gangs and terrorist share many traits)

[nina0113]

but do they use pipe bombs on the deer in Mississippi?

Saves time grinding?

[Hot Tabasco]

Left over 4th of July stuff?

[Will88]

Saves time grinding??

Nah, it's since been clarified. The pipe bombs are fishing equipment.

[boomop1]

For sure..

[JimRed]

One of THEM, or one of US? < /sarc >

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

If they found alcohol, he may have just been going out for a little harmless fun.

[dogcaller]

My understanding is that the Presbyterian sympathizers go to the mountains of North Carolina for their training.

[Global2010]

Dontcha know it is now the new Holy Friday entree.

And for our Jewish freinds... its Kosher.

[ChiefJayStrongbow]

The propane tank is Irish ... Patti ‘O Gas

[Boonie]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........

[meatloaf]

The under brush in Mississippi is so thick you use the pipe bombs to clear firing lanes .... just kidding. But the under brush is thick. That’s the reason the clubs use dogs to run deer.
