"IN STENNIS BUFFER ZONE
Strange packages found in Stennis buffer
?Nails and tacks, but no explosives"
By RYAN LaFONTAINE
THE SUN HERALD
HANCOCK COUNTY - ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The packages were balls of tightly wound plastic bags, individually wrapped with electrical tape, with nails, tacks and glass shavings inside. While the bomb squad detonated one of the packages, officials stopped short of calling it a bomb.
Adam said none of the packages were equipped with a trigger device - gunpowder, trip wire or electric detonator - so officials would only refer to them as "packages."
The strange packages have left local authorities and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms investigators with several unanswered questions: Who put them along the roadway in the Stennis buffer zone? Why were they there? And were they the beginning stages of a bomb?"
