CSI: Spokane

If you haven't read Iowahawk's CSI: Tucson, please go over there and have a laugh.

Then, check this out:

SPOKANE, Wash. -- The Spokane office of the FBI confirmed late Tuesday morning that a suspicious package found along the route of the Unity Parade on Monday morning was a credible threat that had the potential to cause "multiple casualties."

On Tuesday morning the FBI released a statement confirming that following the successful disruption of the device by the Explosives Disposal Unit, “preliminary analysis revealed the backpack contained a potentially deadly destructive device, likely capable of inflicting multiple casualties.”

The backpack, a black Swiss Army pack, was found by a city employee Monday morning at approximately 9:30 a.m. in a parking lot across from the INB Performing Arts Center. After it was reported, authorities shut down several blocks in the vicinity of the intersection of Main Avenue and Washington Street.

This forced a detour in the parade route, which had been scheduled to move past where the device was found.

*******

The FBI confirmed the device was contained in a Swiss Army backpack which contained several T-shirts, including a Stevens County Relay For Life 2010 shirt and a Treasure Island Spring 2009 shirt. See the FBI Request For Information (PDF) for pictures of the pack and shirts found inside.

FBI special agent Frank Harrill said the investigation into the device has become a top priority, adding that the timing and placement of the device wasn't coincidental.

So, what we're looking for here is a pro-life pirate in good physical condition, who may or may not have been at some time a member of the Swiss Army. If you know anyone fitting this description who may have been in the Spokane area this week, please contact the FBI.

Thanks to Memeorandum for the link.

In all seriousness, though, I'd like to request prayers for Judge Roll and family. He died protecting one of the wounded in the shootings (via Moe Lane).

Please also say a prayer for the soul of this young man.
