American border patrol agents along the southern Texas border wall in Starr County have found a backpack loaded with ammo and a homemade explosive device, raising alarm among Republican senators questioning the border policies of the Biden administration.
On Friday, Nov. 3, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said the abandoned bag containing a potential homemade explosive was discovered about two months ago near the border in Fronton, Texas.
Assisted by law enforcement from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), police took the device away and detonated it. The CBP classified the device as a "noise maker" as it contained flash powder.
Although flash powder was found inside the backpack, the CBP said there was no fragmentation to cause major injuries or casualties.
