Stolen were 150 pounds of C-4, 250 pounds of sheet explosives, 20,000 feet of detonator cord and 2,500 blasting caps.

The greatest concern were the sheet explosives. Sheets are NOT detectable and could easily be taken onto airplanes. Bloomfield is VERY close to Navajo Dam, which is the second largest earthen dam in the US. It would make a great target, because there's very little security around the dam. Three big rivers out of Colorado flow into it. Thank God they caught them!!

The ABC radio network news lead with this story without any mention of the names or affiliation of the suspects. It immediately followed this story with the monitoring of the mosques.

Do you have a link to article that states the explosives were recovered? If so, would you ping me to it?

If you mean the surname Richardson, I would agree. However, Governor Richardson seems to take greater pride in his Hispanic heritage than his Anglo heritage. Taco Bell and our "touchy-feely" Governor have only one thing in common, both need Anglo/Hispanic support to succeed. One does it by serving mediocre food the other by serving mediocre policies.

We're getting off topic here but I just heard on KKOB that all the explosives have been recovered. Maybe we will know some names in the next few days.

Freepin' in the dark...assessing the evidence that has not yet arrived about the names....

Various motives and probablilites for a given group of names rated from * (least probable) to ***** (most probable):

SCENARIO 1: Names are like "Bob, Mike, Jack, and Bill."

____Probability A(****)Simple motive to profit from stolen "construction" materials.

____Probability B (*) Militia/domestic terrorist types supplying themselves

____Probability C (***) Bad "all-American" boys want to sell explosives into foreign terrorist network

SCENARIO 2: Names are like "Ricardo, Juan, Mario, Julio."

____Probability A (*****) Stuff is heading to Islamic terror network for money

____Probability B (*) Simple theft of construction materials

____Probability C ( ) Latin terroism (zero probability) (If names are like these, oooo la la la la la la, regardless of motive. If dudes are illegal...well, since they've been nabbed, I would LOVE it!)

SCENARIO 3: Names are like "Abdul, Mohamad, Ahmed, Khan."

____Probability A (*****) Take cover immediately.

SCENARIO 4: Names are like "Bobby, Ricardo, Mohamad, Nyguen."

____Probability A: (This muddled scenario causes quick probability estimation algorithm to start looping...like a circle in a spiral like a wheel within a wheel....eventually CPU smokes, possible breakes into flames.

Yea, when I was down on the Arizona border last April with the Minuteman Project, they mentioned about Muslim "prayer rugs" that were found...so guess what?? The names of these creeps they caught could be "Mohammeds" and "Jose Juans" working together on all sorts of terrorism projects, go figure!!What do you want to bet they'll keep the names hush-hush for a while, wonder why???

Police Searching For Fifth Suspect Around Bloomfield

Action 7 News has learned that four people are in custody in connection with a stolen explosives heist from a site west of Albuquerque.

According to police, all of the explosives have also been recovered.

Two of the suspects are brothers, David and Les Brown.

The men, previously convicted felons, now face federal charges of possessing stolen explosives.

Authorities are still searching for a fifth suspect in the Bloomfield area.

Action 7 News has been covering the arrests for the past 24 hours and covered the arrest of one of the suspects as law enforcement descended on his home.

Action 7 News has learned that investigators recovered some of the explosive material near Durango, Colo.

The fact the feds are not releasing their names suggests that the culprits are muzzies.

This is one of the stupider oft-repeated FR myths.

There have been innumerable incidents where there was quite a delay in the release of names and they turned out to be fairly generic names; the thing is, people tend to forget the incident as there are a lot of people who basically stop following a story as soon as there's no evidence of Muslim involvement.

It's simply false that it's routine to get names instantly after arrests in any circumstances. The idea that there's a unique delay when they're foreign names is pure nonsense, driven by wishful thinking.

Two of the suspects are brothers, David and Les Brown.

Northeast Intelligence Network is reporting that the second cousin of David and Les Brown once worked with a guy at a machine shop who walked within 100 feet of a bookstore that sold Korans once! Stay tuned!
