SANTEE – Sheriff's bomb-arson investigators dismantled an explosive device Monday morning that was found under a bridge by construction workers putting in landscaping. The device was discovered about 8 a.m. under the bridge on Olive Lane just north of Prospect Avenue.
Abomb-arson investigator wearing protective gear dismantled the device. Sgt. E.J. Dayrit said the device wasn't strong enough to destroy the bridge but could have hurt someone. He declined to describe the device because he said he didn't want others to duplicate it. Traffic was blocked for a couple of hours on Olive between Prospect and Via Zapador.

The network of three suspects arrested last month in an al Qaeda-linked bomb plot in Germany may have extended to Syria and other countries in Europe, the German interior minister said on Monday.
"They worked in a very conspirative and high(ly) professional conspirative manner," Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told reporters as he met U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff in Washington. German police earlier this month arrested the three men, said to have trained at militant camps in Pakistan, on suspicion of plotting large bomb attacks on U.S. installations in Germany. U.S. electronic surveillance played a key role in disrupting the plot, authorities have said.
The suspects had an international network that ranged to "not only Pakistan (but also) Syria, and even there are links maybe to other European countries," Schaeuble said. There were also possible additional contacts in Germany but authorities lacked sufficient evidence to prosecute, he said.
