An Alabama man has pleaded guilty to detonating an explosive device outside of the state attorney general's office in downtown Montgomery. The incident occurred in the early morning hours of Saturday, Feb. 24, when Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert set off a bomb made of nails, firecrackers, and screws. Fortunately, no individuals were harmed, and nearby buildings remained undamaged.
The explosive device was not discovered until Monday, Feb. 26, leading to the subsequent arrest of Calvert by law enforcement two weeks later. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized that public servants should never be targeted for carrying out their duties, stating that such conduct will not be tolerated by the Justice Department.
