Early Sunday morning, around 4am, the members of the Occupy Maine camp at Lincoln Park woke up to a loud explosion. Witnesses who were awake said a car driving by slowed down, and lobbed an IED over the fence. Within a few seconds, it exploded. The blast reportedly lifted a table about a foot off the ground. The table generally requires 2 people to lift and move. The target was the center of camp where the overnight security team was.
One witness said this type of bomb could have caused a lot more damage if certain things were added and a lot of campers are fearful of another attack. Thankfully no one was injured last night but police investigators were on scene for 2 hours to identify the chemicals used and to try to find out who is responsible.

That's hard to believe that the cops didn't catch them in the act, as they are all over the place and have security cameras trained on everything.
I'm having flashbacks to August 1968 when I was there working for Eugene McCarthy for President at the Conrad Hilton Hotel across the street from the park, and got caught up in some of the street battles with the police and the national guard.
Their excuse for attacking the demonstrators was the law said the park closed at 10pm and everyone had to get out.
Same excuse today.

My bet would be that the FBI, HS, or the Police Intel unit were behind the 'bomb' - in an attempt to scare all occupations in the USA - and the likely reason no one was caught. Bill, you are correct, the occupations are under intense scrutiny at all hours, by several means and hardly a one doesn't have a plainclothes infiltrator, as well. Same old, same old, IMHO...... Maine is the least likely place to try this.....small, out of the way. Sadly, this will not be the last and not all will be without injured or worse.
