High Explosives Found In Cemetery

New York, New York A volunteer working at the Marble Cemetery on East Second Street in lower Manhattan found a plastic bag containing explosives. The police responded and evacuated the nearby area while a bomb squad investigated. The bomb squad identified the explosives as six blocks of military grade C4 explosives. No detonators or blasting caps were found. The bomb squad safely removed the explosives for proper disposal.

During interviews with cemetery personnel, police found out the explosives were initially found buried under ground almost a year earlier. The caretaker who initially found the bag thought it was a movie prop since the cemetery is often used for filming. Police are investigating how the explosives ended up to be buried in first place. Police have stated that at this time, there is no indication terrorism is involved.
