"Police look for link between C4 explosives in Manhattan cemetery and bizarre note found nearby"
SNIPPET: "Eight blocks of the plastic, military-grade explosive, formally known as Composition 4, were found in a black plastic garbage bag just inside Marble Cemetery, on E. Second St."
SNIPPET: "The explosives were buried near the back wall of the old cemetery, and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said "you could reasonably glean from that that it was put there to threaten any structure" on the other side.
The back wall of the cemetery abuts some brownstones and is about 100 feet from the notorious E 3rd Street clubhouse of the Hell's Angels motorcyle gang.
According to "Hell's Angels: Three Can Keep a Secret if Two are Dead" by Yves Lavigne, the biker gang stockpiled C-4 in the 1980s and one Manhattan member roams the nation teaching other gang members how to use explosives.
The C-4, wrapped in a black plastic garbage bag and buried in area away from graves, was dug up more than a year ago by a caretaker who didn't know what it was and put it aside against a tree.
There the deadly package sat, apparently undisturbed in the heart of the busy East Village, for 16 months."
SNIPPET: "Kelly said a strange "rambling" note signed "Jesus Christ" was left Sunday on a patrol car outside the 9th precinct on nearby E 5th Street.
Cops said the note said something like "stop putting Christ on 2nd St."
"It did make some reference to 2nd Street and it had some religious statements in it," Kelly said. "Investigators at this time don't see a connection between the note and the explosive.""

You and me both, brother. That stuff would be in my rainy day kit so fast....
Hell-to-the-yeah.
heck, C-4 is KEWEL!
I’d have kept it, too, if I knew what it was, anyways....
I wondered where I left that...
Hmmmm.....C4 and a note from Jesus. Perhaps there really is a bomb in Gilead....
"Oh heck, here's a bag of C4! I'd best call the cops!"
It's just unfathomable to me.
Y’all fish the way y’all want and we’ll fish the way we want.
I can understand calling the cops, too, it might be a setup?
A scheme?
Or a bonanza! LOL!
Am I more stupid..if I have a gun, or not?
So they prudently concealed a pile of C4 somewhere *other* than their HQ? How peculiar.
“Oh heck, here’s a bag of C4! I’d best call the cops!”
It’s just unfathomable to me.
close to 99% of the population would have no idea what it was.
