At 7 a.m. this morning, police and fire officials evacuated residents from a Montclair, NJ street after a "pipe bomb wrapped in a plastic newspaper bag was found this morning on the front lawn of" one home. According to the Montclair Times, "After two attempts, a bomb squad detonated the device, made of a pipe with a 2-inch diameter that had wires protruding from it," with an audience of neighbors watching from past the police's security tape. A neighbor said the home where the device was found "belongs to a couple with a baby girl that has resided at that address for about two years. She did not know the homeowners' names."
