SALT LAKE CITY — Two men were arrested after police found an explosive device under a news media vehicle on Friday.

Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, were both arrested for investigation of manufacturing or possessing a weapon of mass destruction, threat of terrorism, attempted aggravated arson, and possessing or removing incendiary items and their parts, according to a police booking affidavit.

The Salt Lake City Police Department Bomb Squad and the Unified Fire Authority Arson/Bomb Squad responded to a suspicious device on Friday in Salt Lake City.

Police say they found the device placed under a news media vehicle parked next to an occupied building and determined it to be a real explosive device. It “had been lit but failed to function as designed,” according to the affidavit.

2. How long until the ATF leaks to a RWNJ podcaster that they're trans?

That's the story TPTB are going with, again, right?

[Hayabusa]

Right-wingers seem to blame transgender people when they stub their toes nowadays.

[mwb970]

16. I assumed it was obvious.

Do you really think someone with nearly 12,000 posts here since 2003 is going to just spew trump's lies? What is wrong with you?

[Emile]

17. Obliviously, I was being a friend. Sorry you took it wrong.

9. It was a Faux-Snooze van, so they care about it.

If it were a major media real news outfit they'd ignore it.

[DFW]

11. Someone wanted to blow up a FOX van? What for?

It's not like they were going to report anything that really happened, so why bother?

12. Alt headline -

Faux-Snooze van saves the day.
A Faux-Snooze van prevented an explosive device from blasting western states into the Pacific by sucking up all the oxygen. Faux-Snooze reporters have uncovered evidence of this being a left wing conspiracy. Local leaders have confirmed they are searching voter records to locate any Democrats.

20. No it wasn't Fox News

It was from the local Fox affiliate channel 13. One is an over the air broadcast network while the other is on cable.

21. Ah - thanks for the clarification.
