(Newser) – Five people were arrested in Georgia yesterday after police in suburban Atlanta found explosives in a car during a routine traffic stop. The officer suspected that the car may have been carrying contraband and uncovered shrapnel-packed devices "manufactured with the intent to cause great bodily harm," a police spokesman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Two more devices were found when a home belonging to one of the suspects was searched. Police have not yet determined the intended target for the explosives.
The true intent and motive for the manufacturing and possession of the destructive devices is still unknown at this time, a police spokesman said.

After reading the whole article and looking at the pictures of the suspects, I don't believe there's enough brain power in the whole bunch for this to be political. Maybe Lewdac is right, they were going to blow up a fish pond--but wouldn't they have been injured? I thought electrocution was the favored method for illegal fishing. I figure they were going to boobytrap their still or there's someone a LITTLE bit smarter that they know and they were going to boobytrap their meth-lab.
