...400 pounds of high-powered plastic explosives, including 150 pounds of C-4 have been stolen from a bunker in New Mexico.
You think I'm kidding?
Officials are investigating the theft of 400 pounds of high-powered plastic explosives in New Mexico. The material was stolen from a bunker owned by a bomb expert who works at a national research lab outside Albuquerque, N.M.
ABC News has been told it's one of the most significant thefts of high-power explosives ever in the United States.
Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed today they are investigating the large theft from Cherry Engineering, a company owned by Chris Cherry, a scientist at Sandia National Labs.
The theft was discovered Sunday night by local authorities. The thieves used blowtorches to cut through thick steel walls at the bunker, authorities told ABC News.
The missing 400 pounds of explosives includes 150 pounds of what is known as C-4 plastic, or "sheet explosive," which can be shaped and molded and is often used by terrorists and military operatives.
"It is a very dangerous material, we want to keep this off the streets," Cherry told ABC News.
Also, 2,500 detonators were missing from a storage explosive container, or magazine, in a bunker owned by Cherry Engineering.
Authorities have no leads in the theft and said there is no indication terrorism is involved.
Unlike the gay group that was planning a kiss-in, which IS regarded by this bunch as being connected to terrorism.
Who, other than terrorists, would have a need for 150 pounds of C-4, 250 pounds of other plastic explosives, and 2500 detonators?
Well, maybe women's health clinic bombers. But of course in Bush's America, those people don't count as terrorists. In their world, only environmentalists, people who ride bicycles in New York and gay college students are terrorists.
