Dare I say it. Westwood does have an Arabic neighborhood a couple of blocks across Westwood Blvd from the campus and the shopping district.

It's past time to round em up and ship em out.

[ncountylee]

Very close to UCLA which has a significant Arab presence.

They can't call things what they are anymore... Was it a pipe bomb or something else? If it was a pipe bomb, I'm not very concerned. I'm sure there are many on this site who either made one or knows somebody that did when they were teenagers. Even more people have screwed on the caps on a short piece of pipe to make something that looks like one. So was it really?

"authorities have been slow to release details about the incident and the device." ...........sound familiar?

[ExcursionGuy84]

...outside of 527 Midvale Ave

There's just something about those #'s...5-2-7...

*Cough*Liberal groups*Cough*

Gangsters or jihadists? Or both?

[robomurph]

Is that where the good Persian restaurants are?

[.cnI redruM]

Yeah, near the movie theater on Westwood.

Yes, you'll see about three or four blocks where all the signs are in Arabic rather than English.

A low boom was audible for about a one-block radius, and several people who live across the street said they felt their apartments shake.

LOL... you could only hear it a block away... but it shook apartments across the street..... right.....

The jihading arabs are visitors to this sandbox and if they can't get along with us then they need to be send back to the ME where they can kill each other off for the next 1000 years.

It's common for police departments to not release details about such things so that they can verify witnesses, suspects, etc. as being truthful or not based on their knowledge of details that were not released to the public.

That's what I've learned by watching every episode of Law and Order 3 times, anyway.

[conservativepoet]

"an improvised explosive device" I sure love to know exactly what that means in this case.

[shooter223]

sounds reasonable ......this story is recent(happened friday) ............I keep thinking of the bomb at the football game in OK and MSM silence regarding same

[LibertyRocks]

Ping (Addressee list is from memory... (o:)
Device found in LA

OK so we have devices found in:
Norman, OK (OU "Suicide" bomber)
East Chicago, IN (Car bomb on I-94)
Georgia Tech
Threat in NYC (with plot apparently foiled)
May be others I'm forgetting... Is this the "Happy Ramadan" stuff Bush warned us about?

It looks like my new tagline was timely.

[Lexington Green]

"Residents said they first heard a small explosion sometime between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. Friday, but most said they went back to sleep. It was not until a resident found an explosive device later that morning that the police were called."

And later the bomb squad detonates another device or the same one around 1 pm.

Maybe its the same chemist from the second bunch of bombs in England.

Guessing someone was storing the devices a safe distance from their home or this is another set of attacks all over the US.

Go back to sleep America /sarcasm
