Backpack bomb found on Spokane, Washington, parade route | Reuters

Quote:
The parade, attended by about 1,500 people, was quickly rerouted while city's bomb disposal unit was summoned and safely "neutralized the device," the FBI said.

FBI agent Frank Harrill described the "improvised explosive device" as having a "very lethal design" capable of inflicting "multiple casualties."

Thank goodness it was discovered before any damage was done.

Agreed. Great that they found it, or that the numskull who made it screwed up. Either way, thank goodness no one was hurt.

It will be interesting to see what they find. I know the N. Idaho area has a number of neoNazi/white supremist groups, and this is just the sort of thing such extremists might do. Not saying they would do this, but that linkage is in my mind. Let me say that racism in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, and Idaho) is VERY unpopular, but some white supremist groups have chosen to call N. Idaho home. Some people have all the luck....
