In Riverside County, CA an unknown perpetrator attempted to blow up the offices of the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley Gang Task Force yesterday by diverting a gas line as reported by Raja Abdulrahim for the Los Angeles Times:
Had the gas line been ignited by static or a lit cigarette, it could have leveled the building and killed anyone in it, Lt. Duane Wisehart said. * * * "It was planned to blow up the building and anyone in it," he said. "We're not really sure why it didn't." The gas line was dismantled by the bomb squad, and investigators are looking for evidence concerning who rerouted it in the building and how, Wisehart said. It is "an educated guess" that this has something to do with gangs, he said.
