A chiropractor was jailed after a bomb scare led authorities to find explosives materials inside of his Park City office, police said. A bomb scare occurred at the chiropractor’s office earlier this week, when someone reported seeing bomb-making equipment in the hallway.
As investigators searched and secured the office building, they reportedly found more equipment inside the office of chiropractor Matthew Zarit. Officials believe that the equipment in the hallway also belonged to Zarit. Zarit, 36, was eventually arrested and booked into the Summit County Jail. Authorities believe he intended to blow up the office building with the bomb-making materials which included gasoline, sodium hydroxide, road flares and a fuse. Zarit faces two felony charges of attempted arson and possession of an incendiary device.

Egypt deployed hundreds of riot police along the border with the Gaza Strip on Friday, fearing hundreds of Palestinian protestors may try to storm the Rafah crossing, security officials said. One official said 500 policemen as well as scores of border guards were deployed at Rafah border crossing and along a concrete wall separating Sinai and the coastal strip.
"Hundreds of Palestinians are starting to gather in front of the main gate of the crossing on the Palestinian side demanding it to be opened," the official told Reuters on a customary condition of anonymity. Another security official put the number of policemen at around 1,000, along with 500 border guards.
