A janitor found three explosive devices late Wednesday morning at the Regional Forensic Center building at 1060 Madison.

The devices — a primary device and two secondary devices — were found in a stairwell about 10 a.m.

Officials said the devices were not a "hoax."

The devices were in an aluminum pan. The janitor initially thought someone had left his food in the stairwell.

The police Bomb Squad was called to the building. Employees were evacuated, and Madison Avenue and the Interstate 240 Madison exit ramp was blocked to traffic.

Also on the scene were units from the Fire Department and federal ATF agents.

A bomb-sniffing dog had begun scanning the building about noon.

This is strange indeed.

Hmmm,Isn't this the state that's full of AlGore?Also, what is w/ the secondary Devices?Someone wanted to make sure the evidence was REALLY taken for a burn-the stairwell seems an unlikely place to place a bomb IMO,unless the instigator knew when the person would be using them.Which means fairly close proximity for detonation.Seems there's alot happening down in Tenn. nowadays!What else is Al Gore doing w/ his free time?After last year,I put NOTHING beyond his imagination.

I bet a disgruntled or exemployee would be the culprit. Or else this was a message for some one.

Many thanks for the flag. Greatly appreciated.

Local channel in Memphis has a video link to a broadcast story.

"Explosive Situation"

They claim they don't think the "forensic center" was targeted, but reporter notes that it is the only department in the building. Also notes many recent "controversial cases" including "Katherine Smith" of license fraud fame.

Thanks!

BUMP!

Thanks for the update, Shermy.

[Fred Mertz]

Bumping your link. Thanks.

Hubby just said the same thing....to destroy Smith's reports! I don't even remember if she has been buried yet.

Wow!! Memphis is a happining place these days. I'd like to say that I'm happy to be at the eastern end of the state, but considering what's been going on in North Georgia lately, I feel a little funny here as well.

But in all seriousness, I suspect that there was some evidence in that building that someone would like destroyed. Apparently, there is some security there; at least enough that the perp couldn't get the explosives into the right place. Or, perhaps, they were planted strategically to take out some structure that would bring the building down. Stairwells are generally somewhat safe havens in a building, but may also be near strong structural members.

I'd like to see what kind of explosives they were and how strong they were. Could be telling...

Thanks for the ping!

So what lab tests and tissue/serum samples were a potential danger to al Fuqra and al Qeada in their Jihad against America?

Sounds like the state that gave us the Racist Gore Big Daddy Gore and the Goron has attracted all types of dangerous individuals.

Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Our capable INS will protect all who live in Tn. This means that more illegal aliens will flock into Tn. This will up the demand for illegal drivers's licenses, housing for the illegals, health care for the illegals, food for the illegals and of course expensive ACLU legal care for the illegals to protect them during their daily acts of terrorism!

Thanks Shermy for the continued great work! I passed the bomb at the mourge story to Phil Valentine and he read it on air first thing today. I am sure that he will forward this to Bill O'Reily and Sean Hannity since he has connections to both.

Funny thing. Not one word of this story in the Tennessean. Valentine called to see why and they replied "That's a West Tennessee story. We don't cover those." That is what we are up against folks if it were not for FR and all the good posters in here. We have to be the Paul Reveres of 2002 because the mainline media is not going to do it.

Oh by the way, Shermy, if you want to forward any stories directly to Mr. Valentine, his e-mail address is phil@philvalentine.com. Your efforts got that story on the air in Nashville when it never would have been covered otherwise.
