Suspicious device found in Idaho hotel

Local police investigate suspicious device found in Idaho hotel described as made to look like a bomb.

Idaho ABC TV News local affiliate channel 8 reported Tuesday Feb. 5, on an Idaho Falls police investigation of a “suspicious package” found.

These incidents are re-occurring: the placement of devices made to look like bombs, but are not. Are there incidents going unreported – devices or packages that draw no attention?

Idaho Falls Police are investigating a suspicious package found in the stairwell of the Red Lion Hotel Saturday night.

An employee of the hotel discovered the small device. It is described as a package wrapped in electrical tape with a fuse coming out of it. Police say it looked as if someone had lit the fuse.

According to police, black gunpowder was leaking from the package. A member of the Idaho Falls Regional Bomb Squad responded.

Two suspects were seen leaving the hotel about an hour before the device was discovered. They are described as having long black hair and trench coats.

If you have any information call police at 529-1200, or you can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 522-1983.

The local affiliate story ran on the Homeland Security Department National Terror Alert Center as an incident report. Note the information if you or anyone you know might be able to help find who was behind this one.
