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.

ARe the Lutherans and Amish teaming up again? /s
There are some CG within 50-60miles, but not much.
That's what caught my eye. I had never heard of a PVC pipe bomb before those good ol' boys (at least that's what CAIR calls them) were arrested up in South Carolina.
I think there is some new tech out there.
Does an infection describe the whole person or a group of unwanted parasites?
More college kids getting school supplies. Classes start soon.
I, being jetsam, am more of the “hoi polloi” type of individual.
;)
I tell my kids I used to have six fingers on both hands before I blew one off each with firecrackers.
They believed me... until they were about nine.
Mohammed Atta, the first anthrax attack, Charles Bishop/Bishra the suicidal teen pilot, the dirty bomb,... what makes you say these things always seem to be in Florida???
It is for a birthday celebration on the beach. Like the Egyptian and Kuwati in South Carolina.
Think outside the box..not PVC pipe bomb.. think crude mortar....a Qassam rocket.
Good one, wish I would have thought of that with my son. The bigger the boom, the closer he wants to be to it.
Perhaps to evade metal detectors....
What are their names and ideological association? That will tell you the motive!
You mean these guys aren't willing to strap one on for the glory of their moonbat god? You would almost think they don't believe that line about the 72 virgins!
That’s what I was thinking...
No Military targets in that area. Patrick AFB is about 100 miles north, and Cape Canaveral Air Station, & Kennedy Space Center is about twenty miles beyond that.
You’re right. They wouldn’t want to get carried away...
Boynton Beach is the next town over from where Mohammad Atta and crew practiced flying (Lantana Airport). Several hijackers rented hotel rooms and spent time in BB right before 9/11. Bob Stevens, the first victim of anthrax, resided in neighboring Lantana.
Also, and perhaps unrelated, many gang members live in the area of east Boynton Beach.
