Thief Of Military Equipment Arrested For Possible Explosives

Military police at Fort Gordon, Georgia arrested a man for impersonating a soldier with possible grenades in his vehicle on the base today. Fort Gordon and Richmond county bomb squads were in to the location after officials searched the vehicle the man was driving and found possible explosives. Among the possible explosives there were apparently other "militarylike" items in the vehicle and I would imagine on the person.

Police believe that the man was possible involved in other thefts of military items in Fort Gordon according to base spokesman Buz Yarnell. A call of a suspicious person in Fort Gordon was what lead to the eventual discovery of possible explosives and other items of the like.

This is all coming after repeated terrorist attack attempts on domestic ground, along with the BP dillema off the Gulf Coast. President Obama has a full plate ahead of him and obviously something needs to be done about securing domestic bases or the next "possible" can become the next "attack."

I used to love my country.

Terrorism Attack Attempts At An All Time High

The Department of Homeland Security is warning the United States that attempted terror attacks are at an all time high on domestic ground. They recently released a four-page report highlighting the 'Evolving Threats to the Homeland' in which they say the increasing number and pace of attacks suggests that terrorist cells are focusing more on smaller operations that garner a higher chance of success rather than larger scale attacks that they have attempted in the past. This all comes in light of the recent Times Square bomb plot in which an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was being delivered by vehicle, which is actually a Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) but news is lazy anymore.
