NORTH COUNTY — What began as an investigation into a minor explosion in North County on Thursday afternoon that injured a gardener has led to the discovery of more than nine pounds of a highly explosive homemade compound that has been used in terrorist plots and by suicide-bombers worldwide.

Known as HMTD, short for the Hexamethylene triperoxide diamine, the powdery compound that resembles flour was found inside five or six Mason jars in the backyard of a home near Escondido that abuts Interstate 15 just north of El Norte Parkway.

The initial explosion that led authorities to the property on Via Scott happened when Mario Garcia, a landscaper, scuffed his foot on the ground apparently activating a bit of the compound which had fallen there. The resulting explosion injured Garcia’s left eye and arm.

Two stories in the news recently:

1) A disturbed kid who never had any realistic means to harm anybody. FBI spends over a year on an elaborate undercover operation, only to demonstrate that the kid would pull the trigger if extraordinary circumstances provided him the opportunity to do so.

2) Another guy creates the largest stockpile of homemade explosives ever found in he US.

Which one continues to make the national headlines?

Which one is labeled a “terrorist” and threat to the US?

Here’s a hint:

One has an Arabic name, the other has a Serbian name.

No, I’m not defending Mohamed Mohamud – he’s a disturbed kid and needs to be put away.

But let’s face the facts:

There are thousands of messed-up kids out there – of every color and religion – that would do the same thing if approached by the right “organization” fighting for a “cause.”

Why doesn’t the FBI help all those other kids act out their fantasies?

There are plenty of Islamic countries yet to invade. But there’s only one Serbia, and we already cashed that one out.

Gotta keep the cash flowing to the contractors.
