[BOSTONHERALD] TYNGSBOROUGH -- The FBI is investigating the discovery of suspicious devices found hanging from power lines in Massachusetts.
Harold Shaw, special agent in charge of the Boston FBI division, says the devices were found Wednesday when the Tyngsborough Fire Department responded to a brush fire. Shaw says crews noticed the items and alerted National Grid. The power company then alerted law enforcement.
Shaw says multiple incendiary devices "similar in structure to pipe bombs" were found. Tyngsborough police say the devices were found on the power lines.
The FBI says the devices were determined to be "non-explosive" early Thursday morning and have been rendered safe.
Shaw says at this point there is no evidence tying the devices to terrorism and law enforcement agencies and utility companies across the country have been notified. |
