Louisiana FBI Investigation Discovers IEDs and BMM in Residence, 1 Arrested
On 14 March 2024, an FBI tactical team raided a home in Madisonville as part of an investigation into the purchase of materials that were suspected of being used to make explosive devices. The FBI was first alerted about a 66-year-old man making online suspicious purchases of explosive manuals and bomb making material (BMM), including explosive precursor chemicals (EPCs), in January 2024. The suspect did not have a license to deal in the materials and had been arrested previously for the manufacture of IEDs.
