SNIPPET: “A gardner dug up a garbage bag containing military-grade C-4 explosives at a historic Lower East Side cemetery last year, but left it at the site until someone called the police this morning, authorities said.

The NYPD Bomb Squad responded to the call at 10:51 a.m. after a device was found at Marble Cemetery on 2nd Street between First and Second avenues.

“There is no ignition device,” said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.”

“after a device was found “

Bad reporting. Suspected device, yes, but explosives without a firing train is not a “device”.

The gardener remembered digging this up and said nothing? This case is taking on odd proportions.
