Buried because of the spectacle of Denver this story kind of slipped by me and I think a lot of other people. From King5.com:

EAR CENTRALIA, Wash. – Police are calling a homemade explosive device built out of a five-gallon propane tank in rural Lewis County a possible act of domestic terrorism.

The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office says an employee for Transalta Power Plant found the propane tank with green and yellow wires coming out of it along a set of access tracks leading to the plant five miles northeast of Centralia.

The employee picked it up, put it on his flat bed truck and drove it back to his supervisor who then called 911.

There’s a video report on the site so check it out. What’s interesting is that this incident is considered possible terrorism but the Dirie case, as well a the Long Island Predator Drone case are not. If the bomb had of blown, so close to where coal is stored, we could have had a disaster on our hands.
