Savannah, Georgia
Two blocks evacuated after missile found under Savannah home
Police locate warhead while responding to burglary report, evacuate two blocks
Staff and Wire Reports
Less than three weeks after a trash bin laden with military ordnance exploded and almost destroyed a Savannah garbage truck, police discovered an anti-tank missile and evacuated two blocks in the same neighborhood.
Savannah-Chatham police found the missile under the home of two men recently jailed on federal firearms charges and identified as suspects in the July 22 Dumpster explosion about a block from the house.
Police cleared the neighborhood around the home of Broderick Dass, 48, and his 19-year-old son, Brandon, for at least two hours Monday after police found the AT-4 anti-tank missile, said Savannah police Sgt. Mike Wilson.
Officers had gone to the house on the 400 block of West 62nd Street to respond to a burglary report when the missile was found, Wilson said.
"They said, 'Whoa,' in light of the history of the residence," Wilson said, referring to a search of the home last month that yielded 10 automatic weapons, some with altered serial numbers.
Savannah authorities contacted the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Army bomb-disposal unit at nearby Fort Stewart, which took the missile to a nearby fairground and detonated it.
Police found this AT-4 anti-tank warhead missile Monday evening in a crawlspace underneath the westside Savannah home of Broderick John Dass and his son Brandon Dass.
The Dasses, who remain in federal custody, were arrested by game wardens on July 17 after they were caught wandering in an aerial gunnery range used by helicopters at Fort Stewart.
The charges included illegally possessing automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines, as well as harassing an endangered gopher tortoise with a rottweiler, said Steve Hart, spokesman for Hunter Army Airfield.
Hart said it's possible the men could have taken the AT-4 missile from the range. "There's unexploded ordnance out there," he said.
The Dasses were released by the military, but ATF agents arrested them four days after that and authorities later found the weapons in their home, said Atlanta ATF Agent Gary Orchowski.
The day after the men were arrested, a Dumpster exploded as it was being emptied into a garbage truck a block from the Dasses' home.
The blast at about 6:50 a.m. July 22 blew the face off the Dumpster, shattered the rear window of the truck and threw the truck forward a few feet, knocking out a fence.
Neighbors said it sounded like a bomb. Nobody was hurt.
That incident also prompted an evacuation of nearby homes after police found another explosive in the truck's trash compartment as well as 20 mm bullets used in mounted military machine guns.
Orchowski said no charges have been filed in the explosion, but the Dasses are suspects.
Kathy Kirby, who lives two houses away from the Dasses, was one of roughly 25 families evacuated Monday. Although the missile was detonated almost a mile away from where she and neighbors were standing, they heard and felt the explosion, she said.
"We could feel the shock wave hit you," Kirby said. "Your hair was moving like a breeze hit you all of a sudden."

Y'all don't have to keep thanking me, you know. Don't get me wrong, it's much appreciated and gives me a lot to be proud of, but I enjoy helping out just for the sake of helping out. And thanks again! =)
And yeah, even though I haven't been around to help for all seventeen, my mom has talked about it for quite a while, and I can't believe it's the seventeenth thread already.
I bet he's going to include it in his report, LOL!
Sounds like you did mighty fine there, Dad.
This brought back a memory for me of when I was 9 years old and my Dad and I were ordered to the grocery store to pick up a cake for my little brother's birthday because Mom had burnt the cake she baked.
We were in the rear of the store with cake in hand, when we heard screaming and a store clerk come running by us to say that they were being robbed by 2 masked gunman.
My Dad grabbed me and we went through the back of the store where he pried open the warehouse door and shooed me out. He went back in to help an elderly lady out and then we headed to the car.
At that point I said "Dad...you didn't pay for the cake"!
He told me we'd go back to pay the next day, but if he went home without a cake, Mom would kill him. :-)
Dads are cool.
that is very odd, and should be reported.
Trust me, I don't want to go! I have to start studying for the GRE's soon. Bleh. Not to mention the 15-20 hours a week of Arabic. I like wasting time too much. :D
Oh yeah. The guy sitting at the table next to me said he was an MP and they (arrests) never went that smoothly in Vietnam...
(Did I mention he was in Vietnam? 'prolly 'splains the long face...)
Glad it was informative. I have come across several more things to add to his 'file.' I will update tomorrow. I believe there are still 6 loose. There was some rumor that Aafia was caught but I have not seen anything to substantiate it.
Interestingly enough, it looks like we have been searching for el Shukri since just after 9/11. Another worrisome piece of information IMO. I can't help but think he really will be the next Muhammad Atta or Ramzi Yousef if he is not caught.
You deserve the thanks!
There was a time, up until...oh, maybe around thread 7 or 8...when disruptors used to pop on the TM threads and comment that "we were all a bunch of kooks" and "when were the stupid TM threads going to end".
With everyone participating and with your Mom's and now your enhancements (as well as the reality that threats are real)...these threads are recognized for their importance and contribution to the fight against terrorism.
:-)
ROFL.
Heading to sleep now. Goodnight, Nully. Goodnight all.
You usually do, but you didn't ping me to the new thread. No big deal, I figured you just forgot to put me on your list. I still manage to find it. :)
Paul Williams is kind of an odd bird. So much of his book is open source info (taken from the internet - in a similar fashion that is done here) that he still comes away with a very possible scenario. If you look back at the statements by AQ alone, you cannot take the nuclear option off the table. In fact, if you take them BY THEIR WORD, they will use nukes.
Here is the link to quotes again: I can repost here if you wish.

You're welcome.
You got that right, Cindy.

Sounds like a good idea, I'm not sure I have any special skills yet though. :<
I've added several things to my profile that are supposed to aide people slightly interested in Arabic, I will have to add more links.
I didn't ever see the show, what happened?
I'm thinking bows, as in bow and arrow bows...but same place as you're thinking about.
Oh, I'm going to try to remember that, through the hard times to come. It brings tears to my eyes, but perhaps there is some hope for us after all.
