An early morning explosion at the federal courthouse in downtown San Diego left a door damaged and blew out a window.

Sgt. Bob Dare of the San Diego Police Department says the loud blast occurred at about 1:40 a.m. Sunday. Streets in the area have been closed.

No injuries were reported. The explosion is under investigation.

FBI Special Agent Darrell Foxworth told a local TV station it appears the explosion may have been caused by a pipe bomb.

Gee, I wonder who had a court date this monday morning?
That should narrow down the suspect list a bit.

[mowowie]

Well MOWOWIE thinks somebody wanted to get out of a court date today. :)

I have a copy of Boughton’s painting in my home office. I think it captures the spirit of both faith and freedom very well.

“Who would the suspects be? Eco-terrorists? Immigration radicals? Drug traffickers?”

My money’s on eco-terrorists.

Where was Howard Dean? What did he know and when did he know it?

[purpleraine]

Yeah, we get a lot of bombings on Cinco de Mayo, between the beer, the tacos, and the music.

Those terrorists are getting sloppy. Someone should inform them that goobermint workers (whom I presume were the intended targets) don’t tend to work in the wee hours of Sunday mornings.

Unless they are voting themselves a raise.
