Casa Grande, Ariz. — A team of federal investigators headed up by the FBI found all sorts of internet printouts – detailing materials and equipment needed to make bomb ingredients from homemade chemicals – in the home of a suspect in the bombing of the Social Security Administration (SSA) office here Dec. 7. Handwritten notes were also located referring to ammonium nitrate and how to make it from cold packs. The bomb rocked the SSA office building and was felt by individuals located close by, shook nearby buildings, and set off car alarms in the area. There was no indication of the full extent of damage at the building, which normally has 14 workers, but observers noted that the bombing had charred and blackened a back entrance. According to SSA there were no injuries,. and investigators were not disclosing the amount of damage that was caused. Abdullatif Ali Aldosary was charged in U.S. District Court in Phoenix with maliciously damaging federal property by means of explosives and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The Iraqi national was arrested less than two hours after the explosive device was detonated. Authorities were able to track down the suspect after several witnesses reported seeing the man’s license plate on a vehicle seen fleeing the bomb site.
