Explosives found on Fort Gordon, GA
Yesterday, I wrote that MacDill AFB captured some folks trying to bring weapons on to the base, well today Fort Gordon, GA is reporting that they arrested a civilian with some explosives in his car last night.
Explosives were found in a vehicle parked inside Fort Gordon Tuesday evening, and a civilian has been arrested, spokesman Buz Yarnell confirmed.
Yarnell stressed that the alert level at the base has not been heightened and added “we’re not using the word terrorist, either.”
Yarnell said that military police are always on the lookout for unusual vehicles and this particular vehicle caught their attention. He did not go into more detail.
Of course they’re not using the word terrorism. It takes a team of wild horses to drag that word from an Army PAO these days.
Thanks to Mr. Wolf for the tip.
Added: Just A Grunt sends local reportage that claims the guy was just there to steal military equipment. I’m not sure how explosives fit into burglary, however.

So, we have a civilian of unknown origin on a military post with explosives; but they have already determined that they were there to steal them? Riiiiiiiight. We still have no idea who the Macdill kids are, other than an AWOL soldier that we don’t know their name, but we know they’re AWOL……..riiiiiight. They were AWOL, but didn’t have the proper ID??? Uh, yeah. Yet some chucklehead goes to Pakistan and we know everything about him including what he had for breakfast and what size his shorts are?
I smell the Carp cooking on this whole deal.
Giving the Army the benefit of the doubt here. Explosives would be right handy for defeating locked doors, gates etc. They don’t say what kind of explosives the civ was caught with, so one can use their imagination to conclude say c4 or maybe det cord. (fun stuff, ;^) )
Jackass! Read the whole story. Some people should not blog
