[QUOTE]Originally posted by TruthAndRights: [QB] ^^ Don't forget all the media reported [i]planned[/i] mass school attacks by yte youths that were thwarted in advance...as well as other media reported thwarted mass attacks and dangerous 'strange' activity... ;) [QUOTE]Police: Record cache of homemade explosives found in San Diego County November 24, 2010|By Michael Martinez, CNN Bomb technicians in unincorporated Escondido, California, continued working Wednesday inside the house of a man who held "the largest" cache of certain homemade explosives ever found in one place in the United States, authorities said. Authorities have already recovered eight or nine pounds of hexamethylene triperoxide diamine, or HMTD, an explosive powder that suicide bombers and terrorists have used around the globe, San Diego County Assistant Sheriff Ed Prendergast said. Police believe the home also contains pentaerythritol tetranitrate, or PETN, another explosive that was used in the 2001 shoe bomber plot and during October's cargo-plane bombing attempt, Prendergast said. George Djura Jakubec, 54, a computer software consultant who rents the house, is being held in lieu of $5 million bail and has been charged with 28 felonies: 13 counts of possession of a destructive device, 13 of possession of ingredients to make a destructive device and two of robbery. The two robbery charges are related to a pair of bank heists, said Steve Walker, a spokesman for the San Diego County district attorney's office. Jakubec pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Monday, he said. Jakubec is a Serbian national who is a naturalized U.S. citizen, and authorities are investigating his background, Prendergast said. Jakubec is also on probation for a burglary conviction in 2009, court records showed. One explosives expert described eight or nine pounds of HMTD as "devastating." "If you had eight or nine pounds in a vehicle in a street, you have a pretty large and devastating car bomb," said James Cavanaugh, a retired special agent of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. "Inside a home, it's going to blow all the windows and doors and walls out, but it's not going to destroy the neighborhood. People would be in danger if they were immediately in front of the house or adjacent to the house," he added. " It would be almost like a gas explosion." Outside court this week, Jakubec's wife, Marina Ivanova, was distraught. "He's crazy," she told camera crews. "I think he lost his mind. He lost mind or something.... I know that he was collecting, obsessively collecting stuff." Bomb technicians must work slowly inside the house because the slightest friction -- such as opening a drawer -- could ignite the explosives, he said. Jakubec appears to be a hoarder, and the clutter of paper and boxes in the house makes the hunt for explosives more difficult, Prendergast said. Bomb crews are wearing less gear so they can move about the house without brushing up against anything and accidentally igniting the explosives, he said. "We are wearing some protective gear, not the big protective gear" that resembles moon suits, Prendergast said. "It's just not practical for this operation." Authorities discovered the explosives last Thursday after a gardener was injured when he unwittingly set off some of the HMTD powder in the back yard, Prendergast said. The blast went up one side of his body, from lower leg to head, he said. "We believe he scraped against some of the powder in the yard, and the friction caused it to explode," Prendergast said. "Apparently the suspect was experimenting in his yard, and some of it got left over" on the ground, he added. Authorities then found the HMTD, which was in six jars that had apparently been moved out of the house and into the back yard, Prendergast said. Authorities had to evacuate two nearby houses and even closed down the southbound lanes of nearby Interstate 15 for three hours Friday, he said. The two adjacent houses remained evacuated Wednesday, he said. "It's amazing he didn't blow himself up. He must have some knowledge of how to do this safely," Prendergast said. "Part of the story should be about the bravery of the bomb technicians and haz-mat team, for risking their lives trying to build a case against this guy so that justice can be served, and trying to render the site safe so that homeowners can return to their homes," he added. On Wednesday, only two or three bomb technicians entered the house for less than an hour and seized a computer, blasting caps and other items, Prendergast said. The crew videotaped the interior and will review the tape later to determine their next mission, officials said. In recent days, technicians found other blasting caps and improvised grenades that weren't live, he said. "If you look at the video of this, you can see items piled on top of items. It gives you a mental picture of how difficult it is," Prendergast said. "Counter space and tables, every bit of space had items piled on top of items -- papers and boxes. "We only pull things out that have easy access," he added. Law officers have defined "a hot zone" consisting of the house itself and the two nearby evacuated houses. A "warm zone" is the street in front of the house, and a "cold zone" is the area beyond a police tape where the media and public are allowed to stand, Prendergast said. At night, after bomb crews have finished their work, the hot zone is reduced to just the house, he said. "It's fair to say the immediate area is quarantined right now," Prendergast said. Local authorities, along with the FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, are trying to determine how to search the cluttered house without causing a blast, officials said. "That's a good question," Prendergast said. "We've reached out to local, state and federal experts, and we're getting information on how to mitigate damages." Authorities believe another bottle of HMTD is inside the house. "We have not removed it yet. It's too dangerous to move. Any movement can set it off," Prendergast said. "We have a saying: We'll go as fast as we can but slow as we must," he added. http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-24/justice/california.homemade.explosives_1_gas-explosion-cache-devastating-car-bomb/3?_s=PM:CRIME [/QUOTE]more to come.....
