Tulsa World reports that a pipe bomb was detonated near an Air Force recruiters’ office in Bixby, Oklahoma at about 10:30 last night, No one was in the office at the time so no one was injured;
Federal Bureau of Investigation special agents collected evidence, including a pipe, from the scene. FBI spokeswoman Jessie Rice said they will attempt to re-create the pipe bomb.
Federal agents are investigating the possibility that the placement and detonation of the bomb was an incident of domestic terrorism. However, federal agents have reached “no conclusion” on the intent, Rice said.
Heavy reports that a witness claimed that a person on a red motorcycle threw the bomb in a backpack from his “crotch rocket”. Heavy also reports that the incident was caught on a security camera.
Thanks to Mick for the tip.

They should just drop a grenade in their pants.
People with nothing better to do than cause damage….
I hope they catch this assbite and give them some damage! They should send these people to Syria and see how they like it there?
A new airman on boot leave? “They told me…!”
Given the time of day, I’d guess someone was just “making a statement” – although they need to make a statement to the judge now as well.
Glad nobody was injured.
So, did the religion of peace strike again?
IMHO IT HAD to have been an Amish Anarchist or marauding Mennonite yet again.
Nah. I say some “intellectual” type of college punk trying to get into the panties of some social justice warrior. You know how that impresses those righteous womenfolk.
Local Navy recruiter not meeting quota?
Does the Navy want folks who’d sign up for the Chair Force?
AntiFas?
It could very easily be and I wouldn’t put it past them.
They need to “arm” all recruiters and increase physical security. They are sitting ducks right now. Thankfully the cowards hit it after hours, imagine if it had been during the work day. If they find out it was a muslim, we will be inundated with “lone wolf”, “doesn’t represent all muslims”, blah, blah, blah, and “backlash against muslims would be a greater crime”. Not all muslims are terrorist, but all terrorists are muslim.
“T’weren’t Mormons.”
The Air Force Times says that a Marine Corps recruiter was working in his office nearby, but he wasn’t injured.
Marine recruiter working in the office at 10:30 at night????????? Yeah………….
Working on a beer maybe?
A few days earlier, a nearby National Guard recruiting center was vandalized, police said, according to [FBI Special Agent Jessi] Rice. That vandalism included slashed tires.

Tulsa World is also now reporting that the FBI has taken into custody for questioning a “person of interest” and are securing warrants to search an apartment.
Damn..my daughter is a recruiter.
Could have been an Amish drive by. Or not.
