According to Troop E Commander, Maj. Miklos Szoczei II, on November 6th, a Veteran Highway Department employee found a possible explosive on Merka Road, and called 911. The New York State Police Bomb Disposal Unit and FBI made the explosive safe.
State and federal law enforcement began investigating the incident, interviewing neighbors and companies across the country, narrowing down a possible suspect.
On November 11th, authorities arrested Michael P. Hilliard, 43, of Horseheads, and charged him with 1st Degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon. State Police confirmed Hilliard was arrested after authorities intercepted a U-Haul on Route 13 in Newfield Saturday evening. Scanner reports indicate police were following the U-Haul around 6:30PM Saturday, working to stop the vehicle before it entered the city of Ithaca.

This is a challenge for low-budget newsgathering operations: The reader gets no idea what it all means, if this is a serious threat to the United States -- blow up the Watervilet Arsenal? or the Barton Hall ROTC offices? -- or somebody watching too much Fox News or just a local crackpot, or the guy was entrapped because he had an extra truckload of fertilizer he couldn't use.

14850.com goes into greater detail without providing additional information. I mean, it sounds as if authorities treat this as serious attempt at bomb-making. But then a truck with diesel in the fuel tank carrying a load of fertilizer (ammonium nitrate) is all you need for a bomb, other than a detonator (and the right ratio of fertilizer mixture to fuel). Or so I hear. I was never real good in chem class.
If you're making a bomb, you're unhappy with somebody, or the government. But then don't you just move to Montana to be among kindred spirits?
