A makeshift bomb exploded at a Nogales, Ariz. power plant Wednesday, rupturing a large fuel tank and prompting the FBI and federal bomb experts to respond. Local officials were alerted at 9:30 a.m. to a call of "suspicious activity" at the UniSource Energy Services Valencia Plant. An explosion had ruptured a diesel storage tank and caused what Nogales Police Lt. Carlos Jimenez described as a relatively small spill that was confined to the immediate area. The reason for the high-scale response is the plant is an electrical substation and critical to the area," Jimenez said, explaining that as many as 30,000 customers in the area - the entire town of Nogales and its environs - depends on the plant for power. "The whole city of Nogales could have been compromised," he added. http://b4in.us/1pmpSVo | From: DAHBOO77 Views: 51 0 ratings | |
