Two Arrested with Explosives Near Charleston
It happened last night, but there’s still very little information out there; two men of “Middle Eastern descent” were arrested after police discovered explosives in the trunk of their car.
Goose Creek - Berkeley County police pulled over a�vehicle in a routine traffic stop near Meyers Road and Highway 176 around 6 p.m.Saturday.
The�vehicle with Florida tags was driven by two men of Middle Eastern descent.
Some type of�explosives were found in the trunk. Those explosives were detonated�after three o’clock this morning.
Two men were arrested, and charges of possession of unlawful explosives are being prepared.
Officials�are not at this time releasing�any additional information on the�number of charges or types of explosive devices they found.
The Associated Press report omits the fact that the suspects are Middle Eastern, with a headline that could not possibly be any more innocuous and unnoticeable: S.C. police detain 2 for suspicious item.
