Bomb Parts Found In Rental Car At MSP Airport
Ed Morrissey
Early yesterday, an Avis employee found the makings of a bomb in a returned rental car in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul airport, triggering an FBI investigation on one of the busiest travel days of the year. The device contained shrapnel, wires, and tubing, but fortunately no explosives:
A bomb-like device was found in a rental car Sunday morning at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, shutting down part of the Lindbergh terminal parking ramps for about two hours.
The Bloomington police bomb squad examined and blew up the device. FBI agents interviewed the man who rented the car after he arrived on the West Coast on Sunday. He said that the device was not a bomb and that he didn't mean to leave it behind, said Pat Hogan, airport spokesman. ...
An Avis service employee, who was doing routine cleaning and checks of the car after it was returned about 9:30 a.m. Sunday, found the device in a cargo compartment in the trunk of a hatchback car. The worker called the airport police because it looked suspicious.
