Police stumbled upon a bomb-making factory Sunday in the home of a Columbia professor who specializes in the spread of infectious disease - and are investigating whether he and his roommate have terror ties. Cops evacuated the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood around the Remsen St. home of Michael Clatts, a medical anthropologist, after finding seven pipe bombs fitted with fuses in his flat, police sources said. The frightening cache was discovered almost by accident - Ivaylo Ivanov, the man living with Clatts, accidentally shot off the tip of his left index finger and sought police help in the street about 1:15 a.m. When investigators went to the 37-year-old Ivanov's apartment, they found the bombs, already capped on both ends and filled with powder. One of the pipe bombs was inserted into a Nerf football, cops said.

Got to be a mistake, Rudy made NYC safe already!
Columbia University has pulled the professors biography
Columbia University has pulled the professors profile from their website
I wonder if he had a generic name, Smith or Brown?

Why would you go to the cops for medical aid when you shot your own finger off?
And whats with the nerf football bomb?
Interesting ping!
When Nerfs are outlawed only outlaws will have Nerfs?
Come on, you know someone was going to say it!
GO OUT FOR THE LOoooNG BOMB!
Michael C. Clatts, PhD is a medical anthropologist whose principal area of interest is in community epidemiology and the development of community-based public health programs. Dr. Clatts is a Principal Investigator within the Institute for International Research on Youth at Risk at National Development and Research Institutes, Inc. He is also a Professor at the Universidad de Puerto Rico and an Associate Professor in the Department of Socio Medical Sciences at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. Dr. Clatts was one of the first social scientists involved in HIV research, having participated in the first NIH epidemiological study of risk factors of AIDS in 1981. Subsequently, he has conducted a number of epidemiological studies related to HIV risk in NYC. These include two NIDA-funded studies of out-of-treatment drug injectors; a CDC-funded evaluation of AIDS outreach and prevention services for homeless youth; an AMFAR-funded study of homeless youths' risk from the NYC street economy; a HOPWA-funded needs assessment of HIV-related services for homeless youth in NYC; and, a NIDA-funded study of HIV risk among young men who have sex with men. Dr. Clatts serves as the Principal Investigator on three NIDA-funded studies which combine comparative ethnographic methods and laboratory virology in the study of HIV transmission in high risk drug injection practices, including heroin, crack-cocaine, and methamphetamines. Currently, Dr. Clatts is leading a NIDA-funded study of HIV risk among young injectors in the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam.
BTW, I love nerf footballs! Those things sail!

She and he both have links through Columbia University and the field of epidemiology.
This Cleets fellow is just the sort of candidate I had in mind under the theory that a leftwingtard had arranged to conduct the anthrax attack ~ and was then "used" by the Islamofascists to do the job. Babs would, of course, seek to "protect" her colleague.
Hope the cops do a bit of waterboarding on this puke, and then on Babs and her other friends.
We may have hit some paydirt here.
Sounds like Dr Clatts was interested in another type of balls
Interesting name eh? The anthrax attack was conducted through the mail against postal installations of various kinds.

excerpt:
“Ivanov, who his lawyer says is Jewish, claims that the pipe bombs were for fishing and the weapons were for “self defense.” He was charged with 46 counts of hate crimes and criminal possession of a weapon last night in Brooklyn Supreme Court. Neighbors seemed to be suspicious of Ivanov, who could be heard drilling things and said that he was “sick of all the Arabs coming in and out of the building.”
