Florida Man Made 'Highly Volatile' Explosive That's Popular With ISIS, Police Say

Jared E. Coburn, 37, was arrested after officers were told he had a bomb under his bed.

"The white crystal powder [TATP] has been referred to as 'Mother of Satan' by terrorist organizations who have used it in deadly attacks around the world," the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The TATP was found in Coburn's room, which he had been renting from a relative, authorities said. Police went there intending to look for a bomb, but the officer who entered the house reported seeing what resembled a makeshift lab, with jugs of powder and bottles of peroxide, alcohol and other liquids scattered around the room. Two vials of crystalline powder sat on the desk, according to law enforcement, and underneath it sat a "large amount of tannerite" — an explosive that contains ammonium nitrate and aluminum

At first I kept thinking it was someone related to trump, couldn't place the name though, must be wrong.
He's been "renting a room from a relative" , which means LIVES IN MOM'S BASEMENT.

His claims that he was trying to make fireworks, then changed to rocket models. BS. No one in their right goddam mind messes with this stuff for a hobby. It is HIGHLY unstable even in very small quantities. That he was able to finesse this without incident is scary. Is he ex-military ?

They need to dig deep into this guy's background.

Is there something in the water that affects their brains but doesn't affect anyone else? We should deport everyone from that state who looks like Jared Coburn.
