Pipe bomb found in second-hand army jacket

A Missouri man who bought a second-hand army jacket got a surprise when he found a pipe bomb in one of the pockets.

Jack Emanuel, from Columbia, visited more than 30 shops because he wanted to buy several army jackets to resell at a flea market.

Emanuel took the bomb to the Macon County Sheriff's Department where it was dismantled.

He said it was about three inches long with both ends crimped and a fuse sticking out of the centre.

No one was hurt and no charges have been filed.

you post alot of news

but it is generally more entertaining than other people

and you don't have a very high rate of reposting posted stories

I appreciate your service

thanks, my husband is a journalist so it is hard to escape it in this house. I try to post other stuff too ;)

That's really odd. I mean you would think someone would look through the coat before selling it.

So thats what happened to my pipe bomb.. wife gives stuff away without checking the pockets.. argh.. I bet I won't be able to get that back.. good for blowing up tree stumps.

Damn! Foiled again!

And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that meddling Jack Emanuel!
