Nefarious Londoner Amir Ali used a petrol bomb to destroy a pub, then turned around and ran face-first into a lamppost. Here's security camera footage of the violent criminal looking like a total dum-dum.

One Iranian nuclear scientists was killed today and another was seriously injured in separate, simultaneous car bomb attacks. Did we do that?

An accused California bank robber's been caught with the "largest cache of homemade explosives ever found in the U.S."

Authorities say that the everything-but-the-explosives bomb-like suitcase found in a Namibian airport yesterday was an American-made item "built to test security measures." These terrorist "dry runs" are getting tedious. Testing? Testing our patience. Exploratory pseudobombs: Fear not—or fear more?

Police in Namibia this morning found a suitcase on a Munich-bound plane that had "a fuse, clock and wires" inside, attached to batteries. But no explosives! Which is nice. Still: Germans should panic, panic, panic.

Kyle Shaw, the 19-year-old who set off a bomb outside a Manhattan Starbucks last year in a Fight Club-inspired bit of anarchist idiocy, has been sentenced to 3.5 years in prison. Speaking as a former teen idiot: that seems harsh.

Here's the Yemeni parcel bomb clarity you've been seeking: one of the two bombs intercepted by authorities was on a timer set to detonate as the plane flew over America's Eastern seaboard. But the bombers miscalculated.

Did you know that al-Qaeda in Iraq once surgically implanted bombs inside two stray dogs and tried to put them on a plane to the U.S.? Here's how to tell if your dog is a bomb-carrying al-Qaeda agent.

Looking to buy a little stash of highly enriched uranium? Look no further than the black market in Georgia, and other former Soviet satellite states, where you can buy enough of the good stuff to make a big ass bomb.

It's Friday, the last day of Bomb Week. Pray for peace! Today in bombing news: doubts cast on the near-miss Yemen mail bomb; another several bomb scares; and a suicide bombing.

Today in bombs: new and skeery details about just how close those Yemeni mail bombs came to blowing up. Plus: new and skeery details on the Greek anarchist mail bombers. It's bomb week. Love it or else.

Police intercepted a mail bomb intended for Italian prez Silvio Berlusconi last night, the 14th mail bomb this week "linked to a far-Left [Greek] urban guerrilla group, the Conspiracy in the Cells of Fire." Greece has suspended all outgoing airmail.

Last week, the Yemeni mail bombs. Today, letter bombs exploded outside the Swiss and Russian embassies in Greece; a dozen coordinated bombs killed 63 in Baghdad; and a letter bomb was found in the German chancellor's mail room. Democracy flourishes.

U.S. officials say that militants in Yemen sent several test packages through the mail last September as a "dry run" for last week's foiled international mail bomb plot. Of course, they've been wrong about these things before.

Officials say the Yemeni parcel bombs found last week were "designed to be detonated in flight," not blow up synagogues. Good?

One of two US-bound bombs that were found on cargo planes last week also flew on passenger jets between Yemen, Qatar and Dubai, according to Qatar Airways. A notorious Saudi bomb maker is the prime suspect for counterterrorism officials.

NPR received a bomb threat in the mail today, prompting the news organization to take extra security precautions and "generally [be] more vigilant." Was it related to the termination of commentator Juan Williams? Or just a pledge drive gone wrong?

A bomb was found in the Marble Cemetery on 2nd Street in Manhattan's East Village at around 11:45am today. Streets are still blocked off. The normally closed cemetery had an "open house" this weekend and was open to the public.

The Eiffel Tower was evacuated today following its second bomb scare in under a month. Yesterday, a Paris train station was evacuated; two weeks ago, a false alarm emptied the Eiffel of tourists. Today's threat came by anonymous phone call.

Pope Benedict XVI is having trouble giving away tickets to the events he's presiding over during his visit to Britain. Even though he has a special rap track for the occasion!
