SNIPPET: “The Arlington woman arrested earlier this month after police found suspected pipe bombs in her pickup truck exaggerated the capabilities of the explosive devices, a Fort Worth bomb squad official said Wednesday.”
SNIPPET: “On Tuesday, Tatum briefed the City Council on the Feb. 13 incident that closed southeast Loop 820 for about eight hours. In his presentation, Tatum showed pictures of the pipe bombs and dummy detonating device.
The pictures showed black painted PVC pipes that were filled with black powder and had match heads attached to them.
Tatum said bomb squad members were unable to determine Al-Homsi’s intentions, although the NBA’s All-Star Game was in Arlington that weekend.”
UPDATE:

“Two Muslims who shut down Fort Worth highway in February plead guilty to possession of homemade pipe bombs”
SNIPPET: “Kimberly Al-Homsi and Yasinul Ansari, her 18-year-old accomplice, both entered pleas before U.S. District Judge John McBryde in Fort Worth. They admitted to one count each of possession of an unregistered firearm, in this case homemade pipe bombs found in the truck in February.
They could each receive up to 10 years and a $250,000 fine when sentenced Sept. 24.”
