The Spokane bomb turned out to be even more deadly than initially thought.
"They haven't seen anything like this in this country," the official said. "This was the worst device, and most intentional device, I've ever seen."Where did the perps get the training to build this thing?The FBI on Wednesday declined to reveal any details about the bomb, which was spotted by three city employees about an hour before the downtown parade was to start, said Frank Harrill, special agent in charge of the Spokane office. The employees looked inside, saw wires and immediately alerted law enforcement, and the parade was rerouted.
Spokane's not all that far from the Idaho border, and Idaho has had its share of right-wing militia movements over the years. I don't know if those groups have typically taken credit for their terrorist actions; no group has done so in this case. It's disturbing.
