ERIE, Pa. (AP) - The bomb strapped to a pizza deliveryman who told police he was forced to rob a bank contained an unusual kind of explosive not typically found in America, FBI agents said Wednesday.
FBI spokesman Bill Crowley confirmed a statement Wednesday by agent Kenneth McCabe that the explosive used in the device was of a kind he had only seen once, in Bogota, Colombia. Crowley also confirmed that a second weapon was found.
The bomb that killed Brian Douglas Wells was secured with a metal collar and lock that FBI officials do not believe was commercially manufactured. Officials released photographs of the device Tuesday in the hope that someone may recognize it and call a telephone tip line.
The second weapons was "unique," Crowley said, but he refused to describe it further.
McCabe, the agent in charge of the FBI's Pittsburgh office, had said in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" that the second weapon was "a sort of a gun."
Investigators are still trying to determine whether Wells, 46, was a willing participant in the bank robbery last Thursday.
After police surrounded and handcuffed him, Wells said he had a bomb strapped to him and that someone - he apparently did not say who - had started a timer on the bomb and forced him to rob the bank.
While waiting for a bomb squad to arrive, the bomb exploded.
FBI experts in Quantico, Va., are reconstructing the bomb, which hung from the lock over Wells' chest, and analyzing an extensive, multipage note that was used by the robber, FBI Agent Bob Rudge said. One part of the note was for bank employees, demanding cash during the robbery, and the other part was instructions for the robber, officials said.
Rudge and other officials refused to discuss the specific contents the note or further details about the bomb, including whether it had a timer or a remote control device.
