| The authorities withheld his name, so we don't know if it was Boudreaux or Hussein. When a pickup truck crashed in southeastern Louisiana, authorities made a surprising discovery: 10 pipe bombs. As emergency crews were trying to right the truck, they noticed the devices. Zeringue said nine of the bombs were made with plastic pipe and one was made with galvanized metal pipe. |

| #6 It could be both; there's a lot of Lebanese in Louisiana. Maybe it was Abu Abed. |

| #5 "So Boudreaux lit the fuse on another stick o' dynamite and hands it to the warden, and says 'Do you wanna talk or do you wanna fish?'" |

| #4 Bigjim - 50 years ago (My heavens! Time flies!) some friends of mine borrowed some chemicals from high school chemistry class, made a tight roll of typing paper and created a sort of a "pipe bomb" with cherry bomb fuse. Having a LOT of magnesium in the mix, it lit up the night sky and split a 4x4 post from the ground to the top. Terrorists? Not even juvenile delinquents. |

| #3 bigjim, a while back the feds caught several jihadi wannabes with pipe bombs, heading towards a US military installation they'd been scoping out. FWIW |

| #2 Sport bomber/fishermen use pipe bombs now that dynamite sticks are hard to buy over the counter. |

| #1 Has there ever been a notable act of terrorism, or even mayhem, involving a pipe bomb? It's kind of amateur hour, you have to light the fuse like fireworks. The cops still act like you've been caught with a suitcase nuke though. Besides, who doesn't like blowing shit up? |
