This article is not only vague but confusing. Dogs didn't find explosives but apparently found something that they difussed?

For those that don't know what Hurlburt is it's the headquarters Air Force Special Ops command.

How does one “diffus” an explosive? Good grief, what a useless article.

The evacuation remained in effect until the bomb was diffused.

So did they just break it up and spread it around, or did they blow it up so that it diffused into the air?



























It's DEFUSED

not diffused

Sheesh

*Putting conspiracy theory hat on*

How did the caller know this? Very convenient of him to have an untraceable phone. If I were the police, I’d want to talk to anyone who had any personal grudges against the driver.

A bomb shell filled with sand, There is a fuse screwed in one end that was removed. It may have already detonated. You do know that they can be reused if they are in good condition?

from the link in post no. 1:

"The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office and Hurlburt Office of Special Investigation discovered an explosive device in the back of a truck that had base access after receiving an anonymous tip Tuesday morning."

Hurlburt found a bomb and Mona got an email

“The evacuation remained in effect until the bomb was diffused.”

The word is DEFUSED. If the bomb which did not exist but nevertheless had to be ‘diffused” ( according to that mash of incomprehensible gibberish with which you graced us) had gone “bang” then its particles would have been DIFFUSED. As it was, we were lucky that they were able to diffuse the non-existent bomb, I guess..

My God, what a bunch of illiterate morons we have for newsies.

I bet you went into journalism to “make a difference” didn’t you?

Security test/drill. Good move having ATF hold the bomb, too bad it wasn’t real.
