US FBI organizes largest bomb seizure in history

Anh Vũ |

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has just made the largest seizure of homemade bombs in the organization's history.

The FBI has made the largest seizure of homemade bombs in history, discovering more than 150 explosive devices at a Virginia farm, according to court documents released this week.

The case began after the FBI received information from a neighbor, reporting that the farm owner was stockpiling homemade weapons and ammunition.

The farm’s owner, Brad Spafford, 36, is currently in custody. According to court records, Spafford worked at a machine shop and used a picture of President Joe Biden for shooting practice. He also expressed support for political assassinations.

FBI agents discovered multiple explosive devices, including pipe bombs, hidden in a backpack in the bedroom of the home Spafford shared with his wife and two young children. Notably, in the family's freezer, they found a vial of HMTD — an extremely unstable explosive — stored with food and labeled "Do Not Touch."

Further investigation revealed that the FBI had found a notebook containing “recipes” for making explosive devices, including grenades. A neighbor also revealed that Spafford had discussed fortifying the house by installing “a 360-degree rotating turret for a .50 caliber gun on the roof.”

Spafford has been charged with unlawful possession of a rifle, but prosecutors say he could face additional charges related to the homemade bombs. Each explosives charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

In another legal document filed on December 31, Spafford's defense attorneys described him as "a hard-working family man with no criminal record" and asked the court to consider granting their client bail.
