Raid reveals arsenal of weapons
February 20, 2003
A south Buffalo couple is behind bars this morning after police, responding to a call, discover a massive arsenal of weapons and explosives. Police say the couple was evidentially gearing up for a potential terrorist attack.
Police raided a home at 57 Barnard Street Thursday evening, and that's what they found…an arsenal of weapons, including more than 40 live bombs — rigged to go off — as well as Samurai swords, pipe bombs and other weaponry.
Police laid the items out at a news conference this evening, and the image was striking. Guns, rockets, rocket launchers, grenades, and bomb-making materials.
They say the man — who neighbors say was quite normal — told police he had gathered the arsenal out of fears of terrorism and as a response to the 9-11 attacks.
He and his wife are under arrest and face multiple charges. The Navy vet is also undergoing a psychiatric exam.
