North had been under 24 hour surveillance for about a week. After police arrested North, they found a second explosive device inside North\u2019s van.<\/p>\n<p>More than thirty different devices have been found since just the beginning of the year. Some of them were pipe-bombs. Others were Molotov cocktails. Some had been planted inside U.S. mail collection boxes. Others had been left outside businesses. No one was hurt\u00a0by the devices. The big question that remains is why? Investigators aren&#8217;t telling\u00a0 because the case is ongoing- but they offered some clues. First Assistant US Attorney Brit Featherstone said it was obvious North \u201c\u2026did not particularly care for the U.S. government\u201d based on\u00a0what he wrote on the explosive devices themselves. Featherstone also said North had been defrauded of money he had come into\u00a0because of\u00a0\u00a0a lawsuit. Featherston said, \u201cIt\u2019s fair to say he was irritated with the individuals he thought were responsible for the loss of that money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s also interesting to note is who\u2019s involved in this case. The Treasury Inspector General of the Tax Administration played some kind of role. That office is responsible for the protection of IRS employees. No one at the press conference would say exactly how or why the Treasury Inspector General was involved. Investigators also wouldn\u2019t talk about why they first started looking at North.<\/p>\n<p>North\u2019s first court appearance is today. Investigators say he\u2019s the only one involved in the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The man who\u2019s suspected of planting thirty-six bomb-like devices in and around mailboxes in East Texas may have had a beef with the US government.
