Texas launches criminal investigation into explosion at West fertiliser plantFederal agents arrest paramedic Bryce Reed, 31, as authorities investigate blast that killed 14 people last month.


A first responder to last month's fertiliser plant blast in West, Texas, was charged Friday with possession of a pipe bomb as authorities announced they were treating the deadly explosion as a criminal act.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) arrested paramedic Bryce Reed in the early hours of Friday. The 31-year-old later appeared in court on a count of possessing a destructive device.

Authorities have not said if the charge is related to the explosion at the West Fertilizer Company on 17 April, an incident that killed 14 people, left 200 others injured and flattened scores of homes.

But in another development Friday, Texas's Department of Public Safety confirmed that it had launched a criminal investigation into the blast.

State officials have instructed rangers and a sheriff's department to assist in the probe. Prior to Friday's developments, it was thought that the incident was being investigated as a potential industrial accident.

It would not be the first time someone created a catastrophe to be a hero.

yeah, if indeed it is him and he is local, it is a double tragedy for that community.

Obama must be thrilled that a white redneck carried out a terrorist attack.

I was in West yesterday and the streets leading into the blast area are still blocked off. They've been treating it as a crime scene all along, pending the outcome of the investigation into the cause of not only the blast, but the fire which preceded it.

Maybe you can put it on the conspiracy forum but it's obvious that you can't trust federal investigation to investigate the truth. They pretty much ignored the crazy enviro radicals who were burning SUV's and torching new construction in Arizona and the radicals suddenly disappeared when Hussein was elected. Next thing you know former terrorist Bill Ayers has a lot to say about democrat politics and bad things happen to (only) oil exploration in American waters. Now a plant in Texas suddenly explodes. Sabotage was a death penalty offense during WW2 and now it seems to be a political football that nobody wants to consider especially the political arm of the government they call the FBI.

Welcome to Politics. Chicago style.

I've been living under it most of my life. We call it the "Chicagonois Way".

A criminal investigation is just that, an investigation. It may result in charges, it may not.

They seem to be having a devil of a time finding the actual cause of the explosion/fire. So far they are just able to eliminate some possible causes.

Right. It's not a time to jump to conclusions.

You are aware that unless you cover the exact talking points liberals have chosen as today's truth, you will be called a liar.

The rest of us will be happy to hear what you have to say.
