TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
FBI agents believe they have the man responsible for bombing the
Social Security building in Casa Grande and according to court documents, the
explosives used are similar to the ones in many bomb plots including terrorist
attacks.
47-year-old
Abdullatif Ali Aldosary made his first court appearance today in Phoenix, but
he did not enter a plea.
Just before 8:30 on Friday morning, a bomb exploded at a doorway
of the Social Security building in Casa Grande.
Several
witnesses saw a dark colored car speed away. One of them managed to get the
license plate number.
Within an
hour, police officers tracked arrested Aldosary at his Coolidge home while he
was washing his car in the driveway. Investigators believe he was trying to
wash off the evidence of the bomb blast.
According
to a court affidavit, FBI agents got a search warrant and found bomb-making
recipes in Aldosary's home along with a receipt from a ChemLab Supply in
Phoenix for the purchase of nitric acid.
The
affidavit also said two guns were found in the attic along with several hundred
rounds of ammunition.
This is
not Aldosary's first run-in with the law.
In
September, the Iraqi refugee was charged with assault and disorderly conduct,
and served time for aggravated harassment charges after he threatened an employer
in 2008.
A second hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday.
