Did not see this posted. Please remove if it is a duplicate. Also, has anyone seen any confirmation of this? It seems to be an AP story.
If true, it is worrying, it may be a dry run for something bigger.

It may be a terrorism dry run, or it may be a firecracker.

Gonna be a long week of “isolated incidences” I’m afraid.

"We also believe this is an isolated incident."
Cue the bouncy Glenn Beck music:
"It's just another isolated . . . another isolated incident."

I don’t see how this could be a dry run for terrorism. It doesn’t sound like it was big enough to do anything and why test a pipe bomb where someone might observe you? My guess is that it was kids with firecrackers.

Way too small-scale for AQ.
Probably some pimply-faced teenage wannabe.

Orlando Sentinel is carrying it as their lead story now.

We were down there in early May. Talk about a soft target-within 2 minutes I thought of a way that they could easily kill 10 thousand people on a busy weekend. It was actually quite simple with no way to stop it. I won't spell it out on a public forum for them although they probably have already thought of the logistics.
I truly believe they have not pulled something a stunt like that because Dubya and Cheney made it quite clear that Mecca would be nuked in another 9-11 like event. IMHO of course.

Doubt this is anything. Way too small scale.
Likely just a filing for that stupid Hamas Cartoon. They killed off Mickey...now they are going after Donald..DUCK!
To: Ironfocus
I wonder if they bought this device at Pedro’s South of the Border in South Carolina?

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- A "crude, homemade" device similar to a pipe bomb exploded in a Downtown Disney trash bin early Monday, prompting an investigation by FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents.
The explosion, which happened at about 12:30 a.m. at the Downtown Disney complex, blew the doors off the trash receptacle, but no one was injured.
Beary said investigators were still trying to determine what the device was made of, but "end caps" typical of pipe bombs were found at the scene.
After an investigation, Orange County sheriff's officials said they were confident that device was not terrorism related.
Local 6 has learned that detectives are looking into the possibility that a prankster or a disgruntled employee caused the explosion.
"Detectives are also looking into whether the device may be connected to a recent crackdown at Downtown Disney targeting rowdy teens," Local 6's Mike DeForest said. "In the past few weeks, the sheriff's office and Disney security have issued dozens of trespass warnings hoping to deter what has been described as a gang-like presence at the entertainment complex."
"Folks, I got to tell you, there is enough on the plate right now -- internationally and domestically," Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said. "We have nuts everywhere. And this type of activity always seems to spawn itself around the holidays. So, we are going to be very vigilant and do the best we can."
The Orange County Sheriff's Office said officers are on heightened alert around Disney property and other tourist areas.
No Disney properties were closed because of Monday's incident.
Disney spokeswoman Kim Prunty emphasized no one was hurt.
"We work closely with law enforcement to continue to offer a safe environment," she said.
Downtown Disney is modeled after the downtown of an American city, and no price is charged for admission.
Anyone with information concerning the explosion is urged to call the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
