ATLANTA -- A military rocket launcher was found Tuesday near a rail-transit station just outside Atlanta.
The shoulder-held launcher was found by the Hamilton E. Holmes MARTA station west of Atlanta by transit employees around 2 p.m., said Gene Wilson, MARTA police chief.
The rocket launcher had been used and it was not loaded, he said.
"It kind of looks like mini bazooka,"' he said. "We're trying to figure out when it was used and how it was used.'"
The launcher, which was about three feet tall and six inches wide, was found on an embankment next to a railroad track parallel to the city's east-west rail-transit line, which was not interrupted by the discovery.
"It didn't have a projectile in it. There was no immediate danger to the public so we did not stop service,'' he said.
There was no immediate indication of how it got there. The FBI and police were searching the area to make sure there were no similar devices

Were there airplane accidents near here in the past couple weeks?
We had 2 military a day or so past and a whole slew of small plane crashes.
If near a plane that had crashed, I sure would not want to be caught with a used launcher in my vehicle.
