Decorated Vet arrested in bomb plot

Dearborn — A decorated Army veteran accused of plotting to blow up a Metro Detroit mosque served time in federal prison for threatening to kill President George W. Bush and bomb a Vermont veterans' clinic in 2002.
Roger Stockham, 63, who flew 600 combat helicopter missions in Vietnam, is behind bars in Michigan after he drove from his home in California last week and parked a car with a trunk full of explosives outside the Islamic Center of America, authorities said.

Stockham had high-end fireworks outside the 70,000-square-foot mosque, which has a 150-foot dome height and 10-story-tall minarets, said Dearborn Mayor John B. O'Reilly Jr.
"The kind that are illegal here and if used in a building would cause tremendous harm," O'Reilly said Sunday.

probably had a trunk full of bottle rockets.
not like he had 55 Gallon drums full of Nitrates and diesel

Sounds like allot more to the story if you dig a little.

I think he was waiting to celebrate ramadan.

Yep...a trunk full of "high-end" fireworks evolves into a "trunk full of explosives".

He really needs to get back on his meds.

Well it is Michigan and they (copers) need something to do.
Closest they been to a real explosive in awhile.
