peroxide based explosive, apt. complex and nearby homes in Houston evacuated, FBI refusing to comment as to wheter the men were planning an attack.
The explosion Wednesday at the Lakeview complex in the 8000 block of the Emmett F. Lowry Expressway killed a man officials identified as Matthew Rugo, 21.
A second man who survived the blast, Curtis Jetton, has been charged with making a false police report and is being held on $10,000 bond, according to Texas City Police Chief Robert Burby.

But Texas City Mayor Matt Doyle said: "If we thought this was a terrorist act, the action would be a lot different than we've seen here today. Certainly, the FBI would have raised the level of security inside the city.''
Salway described the substance as similar to TATP, organic peroxide and a primary high explosive.

Is he going to tell them that Hezbollah are not terrorists?
Did any of you see the debate on Fox just now with Doug Schoen, a democrat activist????
They can refuse to comment all they want, but anyone with two brain cells will know what's up.
I caught part of it, where he was saying that we should go back to Clinton style negotiations or some such nonsense. Didn't get to see all of it. The guy frankly wasn't making much sense at the end.
This sounds like the incident in Oklahoma.
Did you read Lou Dobbs column yesterday? Gone around the bend.
Methadone?
No. Can you give me a short version or a link please? (He's moving a little too far out in left field lately.)
I was watching but only half listening. The GOP woman left him stuttering at the end. She said (paraphrasing), "We've talked and sipped tea and smiled nice and it did no good. Each time they'd go back on any deal that was reached."...or words to that effect. He didn't have much of a response from what I heard.
The more I read, the more I think you're absolutely right. Something is wrong with this picture. I pray to God that our government is going to keep an eye on these folks.
Dead. Dead as a doornail. Deader than Francisco Franco.
I read the link you posted,debg,and read that the stuff is the weapon of choice in suicide bombers! So, what have they decided yet? Run of the mill wacko or terrorist?
Hard to tell from the scant information. Large complex, lots of elderly. Glad that not more damage was done.
Earth to the peoples of the world: they lie.
What? Weapons, etc. in a mosque? Imagine the bunkers and tunnels in our very own USA mosques for a moment.
