SAN DIEGO - A suspected pipe bomb exploded at a federal courthouse in downtown San Diego early Sunday, damaging the front entrance and blowing out a window, authorities said. No injuries were reported. Few people were around the building, which is a block from nightclubs in the Gaslamp Quarter, when the powerful blast also damaged the lobby area of the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Courthouse about 1:40 a.m., said FBI spokeswoman April Langwell. The bomb was reported by two guards in the building, who were uninjured. About 40 agents combed the front courtyard after the area was swept for explosives. No arrests have been made. Debris was found lodged in a window about eight stories up the AT&T building that faces the courthouse. Authorities said that surveillance cameras outside the building may provide information, but that no cameras directly face the doorway. Streets in the area have been closed during the investigation. The courthouse will remain closed Monday as repairs are made.
Thank god these pussies dont have the intestinal fortitude to do this shit when they could actually get caught or kill anyone...........

FBI Terrorism Unit Investigating California Explosion
SAN DIEGO -- The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating an explosion that damaged the entrance to the federal courthouse in downtown San Diego in the predawn hours Sunday, according to City News Service. The loud blast at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Courthouse, 940 Front St., occurred at about 8:48 a.m., said the FBI's April Langwell. By noon, no claims of responsibility had been received, Langwell said. The explosion damaged the front door and lobby area of the building, she said. A photograph of the damage showed a tall window with a tear down the left side and a hole punched through the bottom. Some metal fragments from the explosion were found across the street, according to a freelance cameraman at the scene. "It was determined that the cause was a small explosive device," Special Agent Darrell Foxworth told reporters. He went on to say the device might have been a pipe bomb, according to broadcast reports. No one was injured, San Diego police Sgt. Bob Dare said.
