LOS ANGELES: Authorities in Santa Monica found possible explosives as well as assault rifles and ammunition Sunday in the car of a man who told them he was in town for the L.A. Pride festival in West Hollywood, a law enforcement source said.
Early Sunday, Santa Monica police received a call of a suspected prowler near Olympic Boulevard and 11th Street. Patrol officers responded and encountered an individual who told officers he was waiting for a friend. That led officers to inspect the car and find several weapons and a lot of ammunition as well as tannerite, an ingredient that could be used to create a pipe bomb.
The car had Indiana plates. The man made comments that he was in town for the Pride event in West Hollywood this weekend. The source said authorities did not know of any connection between the gay nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla., early Sunday morning and the Santa Monica incident. The investigation has been taken over by the FBI. The source said the man appeared to be white.
A city official in West Hollywood also confirmed the arrest and stressed that officials were beefing up security at the gay pride event.
"They found him with weapons that were very disconcerting," said the source, adding officials are "taking the appropriate safety precautions."
The parade comes hours after the attack at the Orlando club that killed 50 people. At least 53 were injured in the deadliest shooting in modern American history after a gunman took hostages. The gunman has been identified as 29-year-old Omar Mateen, a U.S. law enforcement official said.

It would be nice to know the person's name and religion. Liberals are already turning the Orlando massacre into a hate crime against gays instead of Muslim attacks on Americans.
The guys name was something like Abdul Muhammad Ikillum, but was a member of the "Religion of Peace".
It's a Muslim attack on gays in America. Per Sharia law gays get death im sorry to say. Islam is Satan's religion so more to come. Oh In in case you're not aware the Muslim religion is also another tenancle of the "hidden dangers of the rainbow" beast. This arm of the rainbow lovers however, has many many Rainbow Warriors
They can spin it however they want 1:52 but the fact remains muslims hate gays. If it makes these gays feel good to lie to themselves and completely ignore the truth then so be it. Gays are usually democrats so they lie all the time anyway so lying about this comes as no surprise.
Welcome to ISLAM. Now, let’s celebrate RAMADAN, the month of mass killings where devout Muslims get extra points in Paradise for killing Infidel (and bonus points for killing gays and Jews) and are designated as ‘Martyrs’.
Ramadan is the month of self-purification before going into battle against the Infidel and is Islam’s bloodiest month of the year. Nobody tells you this.
My heart goes out to the families and the injured. May God give them peace in their grief.
Why can't we all just get along?
How many of you posters know of a neighbor, friend or perhaps yourself, that has put up a fence due to conflict from next door. I know a few too.
So, Mr.Trump is right on time with a wall due to conflict.

“Death is the sentence. We know there’s nothing to be embarrassed about this, death is the sentence…We have to have that compassion for people, with homosexuals, it’s the same, out of compassion, let’s get rid of them now.”
In a 2013 speech

well thanks for posting my comments Joe but where is the video?
Let's have the guy's name, now. We deserve to know and wish to act accordingly.
Hatred begets hatred.
Oh Yoo Hooooo!!
Was Jimmie in that bar?
Islam is not a religion! At best it is a cult, at worst it is organized crime. The followers of islam, muslims, believe in a seventh century, pagan idol, allah, as their deity. All of this nonsense was started by the satanic, personage of an illiterate, cave dweller known as muhammad, the false prophet of Islam.
