Explosives found in pickup near Kansas Statehouse

Explosives found in pickup near Kansas Statehouse

Explosives found in pickup parked outside of capitol

..................................

Officers arrested the pickup’s owner inside a tunnel used by legislators, state officials, lobbyists, and others to go between the State House and a state office building. Saleh said the man claimed to have an appointment in the building, but none was verified. Saleh did not have information about the man’s identity.

..................

The truck had a specialty Florida license plate issued only to qualified paratroopers. It also had a Special Forces sticker on its bumper and stickers on its back window saying, “Welcome to America. Now speak English’’ and “Does my American flag offend you? Call 1 800 LEAVE THE USA

...............

The pickup incident and the phoned-in threat to Brownback’s office came the same day a Kansas House committee opened three days of hearings on several bills designed to crack down on illegal immigration, backed by Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a former law professor who helped draft tough laws in Alabama and Arizona.
