| Description | A Georgia man is facing federal charges after confessing to planting pipe bombs in a local park to frighten locals into caring more about the threat of “foreign” terrorist groups.
As Raw Story reports, 67-year-old Michael Sibley of Marietta, Georgia is under investigation by the FBI for allegedly leaving a “potentially explosive device” in a backpack along a hiking trail last November. The backpack, which was discovered by a mother and her daughter, contained two “partially-constructed” pipe bombs, a listing of Atlanta Falcons football games, a schedule for the Atlanta-area subway system, and documents that named the Marcus Jewish Community Center nearby.
Police also found a Qur’an and a copy of the book The Rape of Kuwait in the backpack, but Sibley confessed to investigators earlier this month that his actions weren’t inspired by religious extremism. Instead, Sibley, who told investigators that he “viewed himself as a patriot,” suggested that he planted the bombs and the items in an attempt to convince his neighbors that they could be targets of global terrorism. |
