There are a bunch of Tim McVeigh wannabes out there...

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the discovery 10
days ago of an improvised explosive device next to the Thomas S. Foley
U.S. Courthouse in downtown Spokane.

The public was not alerted to the bomb until The Spokesman-Review
newspaper inquired about it on Wednesday.

Tom Rice, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office, said the device
was located in the late evening of Sunday, March 28. He said the
public was not notified because they did not want to compromise the
investigation.

No arrests have been made, and Rice would not provide other details.
