A spark spreading from a fuse to the bomb.

I used to go to that shul. I know it is foolish, but they are very disorganized and could have something like a heat vent from the kitchen blow from a grease build up.

Who knows? Pipe bomb? Could have been a pipe- filled with crap that never got cleaned.

Having said that, there are a LOT of Jew haters in Santa Monica. I used to get insults from somebody over there at least once a week. You never know.

Janet Napolitano said it was not a bomb.

You do believe her, don’t you?

I sense that there may be more to this thing than what the LAPD are making known to the public.

“The blast shattered windows at the Chabad House Lubavitch of Santa Monica and launched an object into the roof of a home next door. Video from AIR7 showed firefighters pulling out a pole with its bottom encased in a plug of concrete about 11:30 a.m.”
