Authorities in Utah say two men have been arrested on suspicion of placing an incendiary device under a news media vehicle in Salt Lake City. The bomb didn’t go off.
Police and fire department bomb squads responded on Friday when a suspicious device was found under the vehicle parked near an occupied building.
Investigators determined the bomb “had been lit but failed to function as designed”, according to court records cited by CBS affiliate KUTV.
TFBI identified two suspects and served a search warrant at a home in Magna, west of the city’s downtown. Two men, aged 58 and 31, were arrested and could face charges related to weapons possession and threats of terrorism, ABC affiliate KTVX reported on Sunday.
