If it's the same one I am thinking about, it is no hoax. The bombs were (assumed) to be placed there as a diversion so the perps could knock off a grocery store some 20 minutes later, which they successfully did. It was on national news yesterday.

Nope, I saw it on the news. It was in Fort Wayne, I believe. In two credit unions about a mile apart. No other details, but they showed film of the blast damag

Familyman,

There is a brief article (third down) at www.wane.com/news.shtml

Has been on the news. No one has been arrested yet. Just heard today they think there might be a connection with the blasts and two armed robberies the same night at a Meijers (super Walmart like), and Lowes (large building supplies store). Fort Wayne, IN and surrounding communities have had an increase in robberies over the past two months. If this is connected to the bombings it would be a first here.
