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.

One-will-get-you-three that these guys are ROPers.

[gridlock]

Home-made mortars, perhaps?

[neodad]

Florida. Always seems to be Florida.

[pissant]

No IDs? Hmmm

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Islamic celebratory firecrackers for Allah’s birthday party.

Nothing to see here......

[domenad]

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.

[gridlock]

Hat tip to the indispensible HotAir.com...

Florida. Always seems to be Florida.

Even money on a USF connection...

“Police are not releasing their names.”

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

[Mr. Jazzy]

Getting their Ramadan shopping done early!

One-will-get-you-three that these guys are ROPers.

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

[DaveLoneRanger]

“Routine.” *Snicker* Next stop, Gitmo?

[gridlock]

Getting their Ramadan shopping done early!

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.

[Dog]

Any US bases nearby?

[January24th]

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.

[HIDEK6]

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

[HOYA97]

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?

[dubyagee]

Or Charleston...

[Dog]

Qassam Rockets.

[EndWelfareToday]

Not giving us their “ID’s” is the same thing as telling us that they are four followers of Mohammad and that none of them were Caucasians. If they were white guys this would have been a breaking news ALERT on every single news network on the planet.

[pissant]

That is my guess as well.

These so called traffic stops

Too many coincidences for them not to be the result of tips etc

[sweetiepiezer]

Each was wrapped in duct tape and had a fuse.

Are duct tape sales up in these places.
Used for bomb making and robbing banks lately.
LOL

Any US bases nearby?

I am not familiar with the area. Cape Canaveral is about 100 miles up the coast, but I wouldn't call that "nearby".

NYPD releases report on homegrown terror

"The report, by the NYPD's intelligence and counterterrorism divisions and titled "Radicalization in the West and the Homegrown Threat," was discussed during a conference of law enforcement and security officials headed by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly at Police Headquarters in Lower Manhattan. ... It concludes that the September 11th attacks were an "anomaly" and the most serious terror threat to the country comes from clusters of "unremarkable" individuals who are on a path that could lead to homegrown terror. ... The report focuses on "the trajectory of radicalization" and tracks the path of a non-radicalized individual to an individual with the willingness to commit an act of terror. ... "The threat is real; this is not some bogey man we are creating here," said Rand Corporation terrorism expert Brian Jenkins, who reviewed and contributed to the NYPD report. "There are individuals who are proselytizing, inciting angry young men to go down this path."

[Dog]

Tell us about Boynton Beach ....what is in the area...and is there Naval bases....air stations...Army or Marine bases?

[Hacklehead]

PVC pipe bombs? Pretty weak.

[Pyncho]

This is getting routine. Indeed, put “pipe bomb” into this website’s search box and see what comes up. Lots from 2006, and mostly in TX.

By the way, where’s Boynton Beach?

[driftdiver]

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

HEY! There are plenty of good people here you are disparaging.

Round 1—Caught
Round 2—Caught

Again a Florida connection, what is up? Something is in the pipeline...(pun not so lightly intended).

We only need to miss one.

[Grampa Dave]

Naw, they are blond/blue eyed Grannies.

[visualops]

Here we go again....

[blam]

Isn't this the 2nd bunch caught traveling north with pipe bombs? I wonder why?

Let me speculate.

If there was a sizeable terrorist incident maybe these guys are suppose to harrass the evacuees/refugees and generally cause havoc after the major incident.(?)

Now, I do happen to believe all these guys have been under survellience and the local/state police have been 'tipped' to find a reason to stop them.

Those of you who live along any evacuatation routes may want to keep your eyes 'peeled' for this sort of harrassing activity after any incident. You could find yourself on the front lines.

[gridlock]

By the way, where’s Boynton Beach?

North of Miami on the East coast of Florida.

[Abathar]

Well, back in about 83-85 some friends and I went through our firecracker making phase. No way we would do it now, but back then we had some things in our car with fuses that could knock the wind out of you at a dozen paces. We used duct tape though, at least we were smart enough not to ever make anything that would spray fragments. We thought that fact would keep us out of trouble with the cops.

Gee, isn't ignorance bliss?

[visualops]

PVC Ping

[Graymatter]

If none of the 4 had any ID, I can understand why police aren’t releasing their names.
What I don’t understand is why one of them readily admits it’s a pipe bomb, but won’t give a name.
Maybe another dry run?

[visualops]

arrested in NC

It was SC.

[Libertina]

ARe the Lutherans and Amish teaming up again? /s

[stuartcr]

There are some CG within 50-60miles, but not much.

[gridlock]

PVC pipe bombs? Pretty weak.

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.

[Moonman62]

Does an infection describe the whole person or a group of unwanted parasites?

[HereInTheHeartland]

More college kids getting school supplies. Classes start soon.

[Mr. Jazzy]

I RESENT you associating me with “flotsam”!

I, being jetsam, am more of the “hoi polloi” type of individual.

;)

[gridlock]

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.

[tiredoflaundry]

Sounds like the Ahmed Bin-Grucci clan again!

[weegee]

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???

[weegee]

It is for a birthday celebration on the beach. Like the Egyptian and Kuwati in South Carolina.
