Steve Marshall, state’s attorney general, says no staff or personnel injured by explosion in Montgomery on Saturday

Alabama’s attorney general on Monday said that an explosive device had been detonated outside his offices over the weekend in the state’s capital city of Montgomery.

“Thankfully, no staff or personnel were injured by the explosion. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency will be leading the investigation, and we are urging anyone with information to contact them immediately,” the attorney general, Steve Marshall, said in a statement.

The explosion occurred early on Saturday morning.

    Considering he said he would not be enforcing the abortion ban on IVF, this is almost certainly a far right terrorist.

      I wouldn’t trust it. He could easily change his mind, or the next AG could have differing opinions. You’ll only be ‘safe’ after the statute of limitations ends, and the statute of limitations for murder is infinite.

        Don’t get me wrong, I don’t trust him for shit. But considering his announcement was not long ago, this likely is not coming from anyone on the left.

    I’m not a fan of stochastic terrorism, but feel that finally one was directed towards something useful.

    Edit: NM, seems it was a right-winger angry that the AG won’t enforce the IVF ban.
