Bomb expert's training cache stolen
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Dec. 20 (UPI) -- A massive hunt was on Tuesday in and around Albuquerque, N.M., for hundreds of pounds of explosives stolen from a bomb expert's warehouse training cache. Chris Cherry, a scientist who specializes in explosives and is considered one of the nation's leading bomb technology experts, reported the theft Sunday. Local, state and federal officials set up an emergency operations center and posted a $50,000 reward for the recovery of the materials. The Albuquerque Journal said several hundred pounds of plastic explosives, 2,500 blasting caps and explosive detonator cords were stolen. Cherry trains federal and local police bomb squads, and in 1996 helped the FBI defuse one of "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski's bombs. Federal authorities said the stolen material could fit into the back of a pickup, van or large sport utility vehicle. "We want to get these explosives off the street," said Wayne Dixie, resident agent in charge of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms' Albuquerque office. "The damage could be very extensive if in the right hands." http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20051220-104825-1725r http://www.abqtrib.com/albq/nw_local/article/0,2564,ALBQ_19858_4329285,00.ht ml http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/5581984/detail.html http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,179216,00.html http://www.katu.com/news/story.asp?ID=81899 http://www.freenewmexican.com/news/36609.html http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/5581984/detail.html http://khon.com/khon/display.cfm?storyID=9855 <http://khon.com/khon/display.cfm?storyID=9855&sid=1151> &sid=1151 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
