Authorities: Men Had Pipe Bombs in Their Car
MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (AP) -- Authorities say two Middle Eastern men arrested near a Navy base had several pipe bombs in their car.
Authorities say 24-year-old Ahmed Abda Sherf Mohamed and 21-year-old Yousef Samir Megahed were charged Monday with possession of an incendiary device.
An FBI spokeswoman says a joint state-federal investigation is under way to see if there was any terrorism connection but no link had been found yet. The Navy base is the site of a brig where enemy combatants have been held.
According to an affidavit with his arrest warrant, Mohamed admitted he made the pipe bombs from items he bought at Wal-Mart.
Defense attorney Dennis Rhoad says Mohamed and Megahed have a reason for having the devices, but he declined to comment further during their bond hearing.
Both are students at the University of South Florida.

[sarcasm] Sure they have a reason for having the devices!
It sounds like they were probably going to help some farmers blow out stumps out of their fields ... Why else would 2 Middle Eastern men near a Navy base need several pipe bombs in their car?
What else could they possibly do with them? [/sarcasm]0 -
maybe they were constipated.(we hope) 0 -
