In April Earl Albert Moore, 65, was arrested on suspicion of planting a pipe bomb at a Littleton mall on the 12th anniversary of the Columbine High School attack.

Moore’s arrest came after a manhunt when the bomb was discovered at Southwest Plaza Mall on April 20.

And on June 5 members of the Northern Colorado Bomb Squad destroyed a suspicious package found in a popular Fort Collins shopping centre.

Somebody (homegrown) got a hard on for Denver?

It's possible that somebodies has a hard-on for the USA in general. Terrorism has trended more towards lone-wolf type attacks over the big spectacular ones and this could *possibly* be part that overall effort.

Then again, it could be a pissed off pansy, sensitive type college kid because the last copy of Twilight sold out before he could get it.

i'm waiting to see what the story is on the trucker that rammed the Amtrak. Witnesses said he never tried to stop, he hit the train with a tandem trailer gravel truck... Wonder if he was trying to derail it? The real question is, will we ever know if his name wasn't "American sounding"?

Just read that report. I'm wondering if the driver was texting or something and just not watching the road. The article I read said the driver appeared to try and stop the truck right before impact.
