The Grand Casino's Veranda Hotel was evacuated on Friday morning after three sticks of dynamite were found in a hotel room. Workers were changing furniture when they discovered what looked like dynamite under a bed. Police say there was no cap, fuse, or detonator.
The hotel was evacuated and bomb-sniffing dogs searched the entire facility, but nothing else was found. The Tunica County Sheriff's Department turned the dynamite over to the Memphis Police Department Bomb Squad.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - An illegal immigrant from Egypt, charged in Memphis with using a fake Social Security number, is set for trial in March.
A federal judge put 29-year-old Mahmoud Maawad on the court's March docket today without setting a specific trial date.
Maawad has drawn attention because at the time of his arrest in September he possessed a DVD on "how to look and act like a pilot" and a map of the Memphis airport.
Authorities have said they have no evidence linking Maawad to terrorists but want to keep him behind bars, anyway, until he goes to trial. He is being held without bond."
