[X] Federal authorities in Salt Lake City arrested Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahme Nasir, 31, after an incendiary device was found under a news media vehicle. FBI agents traced the device to a Magna residence where they seized bomb-making materials, hoax WMDs, firearms, and drugs. Both face multiple felony charges, including attempted aggravated arson and possession of weapons of mass destruction.
They soon discovered an incendiary device was placed under a vehicle operated by an unknown media outlet, near an occupied building, per the records. The explosive device 'had been lit but failed to function as designed,' the legal document stated. The investigation, which was led by the FBI, saw authorities obtain a warrant for a home in Magna - about 18 miles outside of the capital. It was there that both suspects were found, along with two devices that turned out to be spoof weapons of mass destruction. Initially, the suspects told authorities the devices were real, leading to an immediate evacuation of the property while bomb squads worked to get rid of the devices. Other surrounding homes were also evacuated because of the scare. Authorities also found firearms, more explosive devices, illegal narcotics and paraphernalia and 'explosive-related components' inside the home, according to records. Electronic devices believed to contain evidence of the alleged crimes were also found in the home, arrest documents said. Both suspects have been charged with two counts of weapon of mass destruction – manufacture/possess/sell/use, attempted aggravated arson, four counts of explosive/chemical/incendiary – possessing parts and two counts of threat of terrorism – use of weapon/hoax mass destruction, according to jail records reviewed by Daily Mail. Adeeb, who was born in Pakistan, was booked into Salt Lake County Jail and ordered to be held without bail, records revealed. It is unclear where Adil, a Utah native, is being held at this time.
