BREAKING : NJ Authorities Discover at Least 3 Other “Inactive” Devices Along Runners Route

New Jersy officials have discovered at least 3 more “inactive” devices along the runner’s route in Seaside Park, NJ.

From Philly.com

Police and federal authorities blocked boardwalk and beach access Saturday after a pipe bomb blew up in a plastic garbage can – just minutes before thousands of runners were to pass by in the Seaside Semper Five charity 5k race to benefit U.S. Marines and sailors.

No one was injured. The race was canceled and homes were evacuated.

The discovery of an unattended backpack just before the race began caused a delay in the competition that may have saved many runners from harm.

Police would not confirm reports at midafternoon Saturday that a suspect was being questioned. At least one officer had referenced a “suspect in custody” but officials at a news conference later would not take questions.

In addition to the bomb that exploded about 9:30 a.m., some authorities reported finding as many as three other intact devices along the runners’ route on Ocean Avenue. The blast occurred in a trash can at the corner of D Street. Authorities later said the reports of additional devices were not verified.

Homeland Security, FBI, and U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives agents joined New Jersey State Police, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, and Seaside Park Police, blocking access to Seaside Park while an intense search was conducted.
