Vehicle with Explosives and a Man in Camouflage Seized in Santa Monica Today

SANTA MONICA (CNS) – Vehicle with explosives and a man in camouflage
and armed with a gun were seized in Santa Monica today, hours after a horrific
mass killing in Florida and hours before 400,000 people were expected at a
street festival in West Hollywood.
Santa Monica police would not confirm the incident, or link it to the
Pride Festival underway this weekend at the center of gay, lesbian and
transgender life in Southern California.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Santa Monica police responded to a
report of a prowler in the area of a city park at Olympic Boulevard at 17th
Street in Santa Monica, 7 miles away from the Pride Day festival.
They encountered a man dressed in campouflage who saud he was waiting
for a friend. His car, with Indiana plates, was searched, and material
described as pipe bomb materials was seized.
The FBI was reportedly at the scene.
