SAN FRANCISCO, California (CNN) -- An explosive device was found in a Starbucks coffee shop in central San Francisco on Monday. The building was evacuated and a police bomb squad disarmed the device, authorities said. A Starbucks employee found the device about 1:15 p.m. (4:15 p.m. ET) on the coffee shop's bathroom floor, police spokesman Neville Gittens said. "If it had detonated, it would have caused damage," Gittens said. "It was what we consider an IED," an improvised explosive device.The device was not concealed, he said. Gittens would not describe the explosive's appearance.Officers told CNN that police were called to investigate a metal flashlight and determined it was an explosive. The Starbucks employee who found the device told authorities, and the building was evacuated, along with apartments above the coffee shop, Gittens said. He said a bomb squad team removed the device about 2 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) and detonated it in a controlled explosion outside the building, at the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and Bush Street.

...We are very close to Jihadist-style suicide bombings from the Left here in the USA. :shake:

What will we say when some Lefty willing to sacrifice his or her own life walks into a Wal-Mart, fast food outlet or shopping center and detonates a bomb strapped on said person, killing scores of people in the process? :eek:

..."It was what we consider an IED," an improvised explosive device...Hey I have a question... I know the media likes to use the latest buzz words to try to appear that they are hip and "with it"... But have these bozos ever thought that it defeats the purpose of using a hip, cool abbreviation like IED when they are just going to turn around and give us the full verbage definition of said abbreviation... I mean, they do this EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! How UN-cool and nerdy can you be?

Get a clue, CNN... Dont try to be cool - You have no talent for it... ITS A BOMB!!!

What a bunch of maroons!:rolleyes:

...We are very close to Jihadist-style suicide bombings from the Left here in the USA. Well, we've already got Leftists blowing up things that offend their goddess, Gaia. The ELF/ALF Axis of Evil is alive and well.
