The FBI has arrested a man for allegedly planting bombs outside cellphone stores in Northern Michigan, the agency announced Tuesday.

FBI Detroit Division Special Agent Timothy Waters announced that the arrest was made in connection to two incidents in which the man allegedly placed explosive devices outside of a Verizon store in Cheboygan and an AT&T store in Sault Ste. Marie on Sept. 16.

Each of the devices was found inside of a US Postal Service box and sealed in black duct tape. The bombs had the letters “CMT” written on them and contained written threats to the comms companies, the FBI told the Associated Press earlier this week.

“Both bombs were diffused and nobody was injured.”

Both bombs were spread over a wide area? That’s reassuring.

I hope they de-fused them first. That’s all I’m saying.

Bombs were ‘diffused”? Are they not hiring editors anymore?

So a bunch of FBI agents found a message thread on an obscure website, made an organization, invented like minded people, and convinced a guy to make devices by giving him the material and instructions. Then they arrest him.

You’re assuming they weren’t diffusion bombs. C’mon, man.

The bomber was reported to question repeatedly:”Can you hear me now.? Can you hear me now?”

Curious if this guy had been speaking with an informant and then an undercover FBI agent before he planted the devices.

That is possible, but remember the guy in the van in Nashville, TN across from AT&T's switch and router network? He appeared to have blown himself up.

There was talk about that one, suggesting a connection with election election data being stored there. That AT&T facility was telephone switch facility and a data storage site.

AT&T had just signed a huge data collection contract for Law Enforcement.

AT&T is no longer just a telephone company. They have always been quasi governmental monopoly.

If this was not a FBI plant event, it suggests a pretty stupid attempt. Almost all large companies are covered by huge camera systems. Someone is arrested.
