It’s just been revealed that two Muslims have been arrested for leaving a bomb under a news vehicle in Utah, with both of them facing multiple charges including possessing “Weapons of Mass Destruction.”
Here’s the news via Fox 13 Salt Lake City:
Two men have been arrested after allegedly leaving an incendiary device underneath a FOX 13 News vehicle and then forcing an evacuation of a Magna neighborhood when the FBI served an overnight warrant on their home.
The men, Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, were booked into jail and face multiple charges, including Threat of Terrorism, Possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Possessing Explosive Devices.
The device underneath the FOX 13 News vehicle was originally located on Friday and determined to be real. According to officials, the device had been lit but “failed to function.”
Because of the type of device discovered and where it was located, it was considered a significant threat to public safety, leading the FBI to assume jurisdiction over the case.
During the FBI investigation, the suspects were tracked to a Magna home in the 2700 South block of 8500 West.
On Saturday, the FBI served a warrant on the home, along with the Salt Lake City Police Department and Unified Fire bomb squads to make sure no other explosive devices were a danger inside.
The men were located at the home, and during the search, told investigators that “two hoax weapons of mass destruction” that officials discovered were “real,” the arrest report stated.
Because of the devices, the home was evacuated, as well as nearby homes in the neighborhood.
