Feds to investigate GMU bomb-making arrests, still no statement from administration

So much for being a “small” issue. Federal investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are jumping in to investigate the bomb-making materials found in a George Mason University dorm room.

As we reported, three students were arrested last week — despite the public only being informed yesterday, via court documents and not GMU. One was arrested for possession of bomb-making materials, the other two for alcohol and drug related charges. AP reported that, “police found a leafy green substance, match books, shaved match heads, a mortar and pedestal, lighter fluid, hand sanitizer candles and a PVC pipe.”

Capt. Brian Cozby, an official from George Mason University’s Department of Police and Public Safety, told Fox News that”these individuals aren’t linked to something else,” and “[t]here was no threat ever to that building or to the university as a whole.”

Yet, the Department and GMU are refusing to release their names.

If the threat was so minor, why not release the names like any other arrest?
