Pipe Bombs Found In Car During Boynton Traffic Stop

BOYNTON BEACH — What started as a traffic stop on a gold Nissan Sentra early this morning led to the discovery of two pipe bombs, masks and gloves and 15-feet of PVC pipe inside the car.

Boynton Beach police have detained the four men who were inside the car when Officer Vincent Haugh stopped it in on North Federal Highway around 2:24 a.m.

(snip)... Police are not releasing their names.

Haugh stopped the car after he saw one of the men throw something out a window. When he approached the vehicle and asked for identification, none of the occupants had any to provide.

The men were asked to step out of the car.

As they did, Haugh noticed what looked like two pipe bombs on the floorboard.

The devices were about the size of a fist. Each was wrapped in duct tape and had a fuse.

Police also found masks and gloves.

In the trunk of the car they discovered about 15-feet of PVC pipe.

(snip... much mayhem follows...)

One of the suspects told investigators they had been making pipe bombs, police said. Their motive was not known.

Work up a nice phlegm ball in your throad and then hock it up into your waste basket. You just pronounced something similar to the names of all four guys in that car.

“Police are not releasing their names.”

Usually means Ali, Mohommed, Achmed or some other M.E. variation.

I don't know. This is pretty run of the mill stuff for the crud that infects Florida.

When Ramadan rolls around and you cut out the two or three hours a day you would normally devote to watching pornos and self-abuse, it's amazing what mischief you have time for!

Florida (where I lived from 1991-94 and again from 1999-2002) tends to attract the flotsam and jetsam of humanity.

Too bad they didn't show up in my little Florida town.

Really though. What's up with Florida? We've become the magnet for misery. Maybe we always were.

Cramming four guys into a Sentra is not a normal thing to be doing.

How does this relate to the two men who were arrested in NC with similar devices in there cars? Do the FBI or DHS know about these incidents?
