Explosive Laden California Home to Be Destroyed
Neighbors watched as authorities showed photos of a suburban Escondido home packed with explosives. Prosecutors say George Jakubec, born in Serbia, amassed the largest homemade explosive cache found in a U.S. home and planned a bomb-making operation. Officials decided to burn the house rather than risk detonation, in a controlled operation involving dozens of responders. The fire is set to occur Wednesday amid near calm winds and heavy safety precautions.
