Two men in Utah were arrested after an incendiary device was placed under 
a news media vehicle in Salt Lake City on Friday, according to court 
documents obtained by CBS News.

The device had been lit but "failed to function as designed," a Unified 
Fire Authority Investigations officer wrote in affidavits of probable 
cause filed in the 3rd District Court of Salt Lake County. Fox 13, a news 
station based in Salt Lake City, confirmed to CBS News that the device was 
placed under their vehicle, which was parked next to an occupied building.

Authorities arrested Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, 
who were booked at Salt Lake County Jail on Sunday and could face charges 
that include attempted aggravated arson, threat of terrorism and 
possession of weapons of mass destruction, according to the documents. 
They are being held without bail.

"Due to the nature of the device and its placement, this incident 
constituted a significant threat to public safety," Unified Fire Authority 
Investigations officer Jeffrey David Nelson said in the affidavit, noting 
a risk of mass casualties.

The FBI, which is leading the investigation with assistance from the 
Unified Fire Authority bomb squad, identified and tracked the suspects to 
a home on the outskirts of Salt Lake City.

At the residence, investigators located firearms, illegal narcotics and 
hoax weapons of mass destruction — devices that don't contain anything 
harmful but appear legitimate. The suspects claimed those devices were 
real, prompting evacuations in neighboring residences. Both men had 
protective orders preventing them from legally owning firearms due to 
histories of illicit drug use.

It's unclear if the two suspects have obtained legal representation.

A Unified Fire Authority official told CBS News that no further 
information will be shared at this time, citing the ongoing investigation.

The death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot last week at 
an event at Utah Valley University, about 40 miles from Salt Lake City, 
has drawn a higher media presence than usual to the area. Investigators 
are still determining a motive for the attack and charges are expected to 
be filed this week against the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, 
according to the Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
