Utah has had a lot to handle over the past week with the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk and hunting down his accused assassin.

However, they had another disturbing issue to deal with, reports said on Sunday.

Authorities are now saying that an “incendiary device” had been placed under a news media vehicle near an occupied building in Salt Lake City.

It was discovered on Friday.

The bomb had been lit, but it failed to function, according to the police.

Police stated the device “constituted a significant threat to public safety.”

The police took two men into custody in the case, Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Nasir, 31.

Authorities discovered more in a search of a home in Magna.

Neighboring homes were evacuated during the search, which turned up explosives and “explosive-related components,” firearms, illegal narcotics and other paraphernalia, court records say.

Authorities say they also found at least two devices that turned out to be hoax weapons of mass destruction.

Nearby homes were evacuated during the search.

Fox News’ Matt Finn reported that the news vehicle in question was from their Fox affiliate in Salt Lake City.

There has been no mention of a possible motive yet, but being planted under a Fox affiliate vehicle has to make one wonder if it was aimed at Fox News.

The two suspects now face a host of possible charges, including “Threat of Terrorism, Possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Possessing Explosive Devices,” according to Fox13.

“FOX 13 News is working closely with law-enforcement and our risk management team, with the safety of our employees as our top priority,” said FOX 13 Station Manager Leona Wood.

Police are asking that the men be held without bail.

The bombing attempt comes amid a dangerous escalation of violence targeting conservative voices across America.

Just days after Charlie Kirk’s assassination shocked the nation, extremists attempted to blow up a conservative news outlet’s vehicle.

The failed bombing represents a terrifying new chapter in leftist political violence.

These terrorists didn’t just target property – they endangered an entire neighborhood with their explosive device.

The discovery of multiple weapons of mass destruction at the suspects’ home reveals the scope of their terrorist capabilities.

Federal authorities must treat this as part of a broader conspiracy against conservative media and political figures.

The timing cannot be ignored – Kirk’s murder followed immediately by an attempted bombing of Fox affiliates shows coordinated attacks.

Conservative journalists and outlets now face unprecedented threats from domestic terrorists emboldened by recent political violence.

The suspects’ arsenal of explosives, firearms, and illegal drugs suggests sophisticated planning for multiple attacks.

Only a malfunction prevented what could have been a devastating explosion in downtown Salt Lake City.

The evacuation of neighboring homes demonstrates how these terrorists endangered innocent families in their quest to silence conservative voices.

This represents domestic terrorism in its purest form – using violence and intimidation to advance political goals.

The charges of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction reflect the serious federal crimes these suspects committed.

Conservative media outlets must now operate under constant threat from extremists who view violence as acceptable political expression.

The failed bombing attempt reveals how far anti-conservative hatred has escalated beyond protests and rhetoric into actual terrorism.

Law enforcement’s discovery of hoax weapons alongside real explosives shows the psychological warfare component of these attacks.

Utah authorities deserve credit for preventing what could have been a mass casualty event targeting conservative media.

The broader pattern of violence against conservatives – from Kirk’s assassination to this bombing attempt – demands federal intervention.

America cannot allow domestic terrorists to silence conservative voices through murder and explosives.

The suspects must face the full weight of federal terrorism charges to send a clear message that political violence will not be tolerated.

Conservative Americans have the right to express their views without fear of assassination or bombing by radical extremists.
