Radio-controlled car used as car bomb on I-75 last fall
2012-03-16
Detroit-- The attorney who survived a car bomb blast along with his two sons in Monroe last fall appeared in a national television interview Friday, saying he has returned to work despite being targeted for his job. The interview was aired one day after federal investigators said parts from a $130 remote-control toy car were used in the explosive device that blew up the La Salle resident's Volvo Sept. 20. Chappell told The Detroit News in December he believes he knows who tried to kill him. He did not publicly identify the person.

The explosive device detonated under Chappell's Volvo. Chemists from an ATF lab analyzed debris recovered from the blast.

McCain said they have found electronic components from the toy cars -- available at area hobby stores -- in the debris.

#2  No-one law-abiding deserves to be the victim of things like this, but some come closer than others.
