Jamaican charged with bomb parts in luggage in court
32 year-old Kevin Brown, a Jamaican was detained at a Florida airport after bomb parts were found in his luggage. He said intended to blow up a pipe bomb on a tree stump in Jamaica and to show his friends how to make explosives like those used in Iraq, U.S. investigators said on Wednesday.
Brown, who was arrested at Orlando International Airport on Tuesday, made an initial court appearance, standing silently in a white jail jumpsuit and leg shackles before U.S. Magistrate Karla Spaulding. Spaulding scheduled a bond hearing for Thursday at which Assistant U.S. Attorney Vincent Citro said he will provide some details on the case. In an affidavit, FBI agent Kelly Boaz said two galvanized pipes, end caps with holes drilled in them, two prescription bottles containing air gun pellets, a model rocket igniter, batteries, lighters, lighter fluid and two bottles of nitromethane were found in Brown's luggage.
Investigators also found bomb-making instructions in his backpack. Nitromethane is a liquid commonly used as a solvent and cleaning agent, and can be used to manufacture explosives. "Brown told us, among other things, that he bought the items in the baggage in Gainesville, Florida, and intended to use them to build a pipe bomb," Boaz's affidavit read. "Brown initially said that he was going to detonate the device on a tree stump in Jamaica but later told us he was going to show friends how to build explosive devices like the kind he saw in Iraq."
FBI spokesman David Couvertier said in a statement that the agency was still trying to confirm Brown's identity, particularly his date of birth. Law enforcement officials said they were trying to establish if Brown was a U.S. Army veteran.
Brown was detained while attempting to check his luggage on Air Jamaica flight 80 to Montego Bay after a "behavior detection officer" keeping watch for suspicious activity singled him out for closer inspection, according to the Transportation Security Administration. The FBI said initial record checks indicated Brown was in the United States legally.
The incident caused some flight delays at Orlando International Airport after a portion of the terminal was evacuated for several hours.

Why is it that there is a reoccurring trend of Jamaican born males engaging in terorist activity. This is not the first time a Jamaican was found guilty of the same offense.
This is just another reason to justify Jamaicans traveling abroad to be excessively scrutinized, and harrassed. These are the very situations that make us all look bad and result in Jamaicans on a whole being viewed as criminal minded. But it just goes to show that the same mind set you have in JA is really the same mindset elsewhere.
There needs to be a collaborative effort to really educate young and old alike about how violence and weapons, destroy families and communities. The same mind that was used to construct a pipe bomb could have been used more constructively to enhance the lives of Jamaicans in a more positive way.
When I think about the sacrifice made by our fore- fathers such as Marcus Garvey, Paul Bogle, Nanny, etc it makes me ask is this what we have come to ? Where has the strength, love, compassion, courage and bravery gone. We are such a great people with immense potential if only we learn to embrace the best within ourselves and each other and build upon that greatness we would truly be a real force to be reckoned with, but instead we want to turn Kings-town into Gun-Town and spread the senseless culture of violence to every community in JA.. and globally. I believe we can do better and I hope we do because our very survival depends on it.... NUFF LOVE FAMILY!!

dat frocking jack*ss..I glad they caught him!!
Its a sad story, and yet quite predictable. Whenever men are depressed and hurt, they act out in violent ways, and try to kill everybody in sight. Stupidness. Take the medication and get some help! Sure you think your life is no longer worth anything; but that doesn't mean you need to deprive everyone else of the chance to find happiness. Stop the madness!

Please dont support this guy with his madness, because if he was coming to Jamaica to show people how to make bombs, that means he was up to no good. Just think what would happen to our crime rate if we should add car bombings on top of our shooting spree, no one would be safe. I am glad he got caught.

This is a typical american news article. Always in the U.S. when something is done by a minority, they have to name his race or culture. What the hell was the relevence that this guy is Jamaican? does it make him any less or more dangerous? No, it's just predjudice and descrimination. His race, and nationality has no bearing on his crime, they only bring it up to make it look like minorities, and especially Jamaicans are worse than they are. If they want to point fingers, they need to point it at themselves, Jamaica didn't ship him to Iraq, and didn't teach him how to kill, and I'm sure he never saw bombings here either. I'm very offended by this article. Yes he was stupid for this, but talk about what he did, and not about his nationality, that is just racism in print!! and they are trying to make Jamaicans out to be terroists, and that is just not true, don't judge all by one!

you know what i hope our governmaent can now realize what we are going thru when we have to go abroad to earn a living,and stop playing around with our country's resources and make the country better for all of us to come home to, as i'm sure that more than 3/4 of all jamaicans that are abroad would come home if liivng conditions were better.have you guys ever considered that we are the most popular non continental nation in the world, now lets just make this work to our advantage. better late than never

Goes to show that it's not only the mad men and women on the streets of most Jamaican cities that are mental, nuff crazy people seem to lead 'normal' lives. If you notice your loved one is exhibiting signs of mental illness or depression, get on top of it before its too late;and mi nuh mean fi guh a Obeah man, mi mean teck dem to a Psychiatrist.
Dre, Your criticizing Jamaicans about there spelling and writing, but in all truth, you can't seem to spell or write either, out of everything you could have chosen to spell wrong, you chose to spell the name of the country wrong, your pathetic asshole.

Well this situation is more than one side to it, it’s really a matter that need to be discuss, but the story did not even bring shame to me. The responders on this site(some of I might add) how are you going to come a conclusion like that, you guys need to learn to read and write, and don’t take one story do research, this guy was exposed to such violent situation and as a result of such has acted accordingly, I have friends who went to Iraq and now all they want to do is shoot people, their mentality has bin distorted and will not be easily brought back to norm, some of u fools who wrote really make me shame, if the guy is a green card holder he is not a united state citizen he is Jamaican citizen not, and yes he is deportable because of such, anyways I don’t totally agree with how the united states has reported on the matter, they said Jamaican man, they did not even mentioned on is military involvement, this can get off scotch free if he can plea insanity and he has a little grounds to prove such case. But as a Jamaican I am not happy to hear this news, especially for air Jamaica which was said to be the safest air line. And some idiot is going to say he should teach them how to make bombs how will us feel to know that ppl making bombs in Jamaica killing people enough violence is already there now. We as Jamaicans need to be more responsible abt our mouth and our though bcuz watt I have read on this cite pertaining this situation has brought shame to me.
yeah man these Jamaicans giving us good Jamaicans living here a bad name

I'm glad they caught him -- KUDOS to the one airport security officer who wasn't asleep on the job. come on, this man wasn't going to "show" anybody how to make anything. he was going to JA to blow sombody or someplace up. I hope the veterans administration gets him some psychiatric help if it turns out that he had in fact been been deployed in Iraq.
