| Bombing in Rochester, NY |
| 2004-04-21 |
| Five people, including two Rochester police officers, were hurt when three homemade pipe bombs exploded in the city’s 19th Ward Tuesday night. The officers and three other people suffered what authorities called minor injuries when the explosives went off around 9:15pm on Pioneer Street, near Weldon Street. The explosion happened in a square block area south of Brooks Avenue just west of Genesee Valley Park. Police continued to investigate the scene late Tuesday night and did not offer details of the circumstances that led to the bombs exploding. Breaking News |

| #2 This report is wrong. I watched a clip from a Rochester news station. They were "soda bottle bombs" made with "common household chemicals." Three teens were involved. For some reason I suspect one (or more) of them does a lot of websurfing, and came across this posted on the b3ta newsletter at the start of April: STUFF NOT TO DO OVER THE EASTER WEEKEND Unless you're bored or suicidal >> Build a bottle bomb << Kids - never mix chlorine and alcohol in a bottle and shake it up for kicks. This is what happens. One of the best videos we've ever seen. The comic timing is masterful. http://snipurl.com/5lv5 |

| #1 Pipe bombs tend to indicate criminals/nutcases/domestic wacko groups. We shall see. |
