Crude bombs explode in western Colorado city; no injuries

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.


At least three crude bombs exploded Friday and two more were disarmed outside Grand Junction homes, prompting warnings from authorities as they fanned out across this western Colorado city looking for suspects and more devices.

No injuries were reported. Officers from the police department, sheriff's office and fire stations were all searching for clues,

"We are concerned there are others out there that no one has discovered yet," police Sgt. Paul Quimby said.

No one has called to claim responsibility, Quimby said. He said it was too soon to speculate who set the bombs, but he said homes didn't seem to be a likely target for terrorists.

"This would be very doable by kids with the Internet and a little ingenuity," he said. "We are trying to chase down several leads to make some sense out of this."

The bombs were described as black, office-style trash cans covered in silver duct tape. Quimby said they resembled an incendiary device rather than a bomb; one explosion scorched the front of a garage door and melted the vinyl siding.(snip)
