The fact that they said its unrelated and in the St Louis area tells us it IS related; otherwise they would have given more details.
Not true.
It is unrelated. It’s about a manhunt for a mother killer from last week
Just a few days ago, FBI agents arrested members of the New Black Panthers Party who were purchasing materials to make pipe bombs, ahead of the Ferguson grand jury decision. It was a sting operation, but it’s a bit curious that the FBI was running the show, and not the ATF. With last night’s incident, you’ve got to wonder if Major Washington had any ties to the pipe bomb ring. Yeah, it could have been a completely unrelated drug case—or some other crime—but it looks like someone in the bureau is going after the Panthers (and it’s about time). Amazing that the investigation has progressed this far with Eric Holder running the Justice Department.
