FBI Seizes 150 Homemade Bombs in Virginia

Federal agents arrested Brad Spafford, 36, after discovering over 150 homemade explosive devices at his Norfolk, Virginia home, potentially marking the largest seizure of its kind in FBI history. The investigation began following a tip from a neighbor who reported Spafford's stockpiling of weapons and ammunition, including unregistered firearms. Prosecutors allege that Spafford expressed support for political assassinations and used images of President Biden for target practice, raising concerns about domestic extremism. Despite the alarming findings, defense attorneys argue there is no evidence he intended to use the explosives, noting his lack of a criminal record and the fact that trained technicians had to rig the devices to detonate. The case has intensified discussions about the threat posed by lone actors in the current political climate. Court proceedings will determine whether Spafford remains in custody as various charges related to the explosives loom.
