Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • The FBI has made a historic seizure of over 150 homemade explosive devices from a Virginia man, Brad Spafford, during a search on December 17, 2023.
  • Investigators described this as potentially the largest stockpile of finished explosives ever collected in a single operation by the agency, found primarily in a detached garage at Spafford's home.
  • Spafford, 36, faces multiple charges including unlawful possession of a firearm and is accused of possessing dangerous homemade devices, some labeled as "lethal."
  • Federal prosecutors expressed concerns over Spafford's inclination towards violence, citing statements he made about political assassinations and his alarming interest in creating improvised explosives.
  • While Spafford's defense argues there's no evidence of a planned attack, prosecutors maintain that his actions and statements pose a significant threat to public safety.
