   The media takes liberties again.  Tries to inject terror into an   
   ordinary domestic disturbance.   
      
   An improvised explosive device was detonated against the   
   exterior wall of a building housing the Colorado Springs chapter   
   of the NAACP on Tuesday, officials said.   
      
   The explosion knocked items off the office walls but no one was   
   injured.   
      
   Agents from the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Bureau of   
   Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives went to the scene   
   after the blast to gather evidence and place makers.   
      
   The FBI said that a gasoline can was placed next to the device   
   but the contents did not ignite.   
      
   According to the the FBI, officials are seeking a "potential   
   person of interest," described as a balding white male, about 40   
   years old.   
      
   "He may be driving a 2000 or older model dirty, white pick-up   
   truck with paneling, a dark colored bed liner, open tailgate,   
   and a missing or covered license plate," the FBI said in a   
   statement said.   
      
   The explosion was heard near the building on the 600 block of   
   South El Paso Street on the southern end of the city just before   
   11 a.m. Those nearby reported hearing a "loud boom."   
      
   "I was cutting somebody's hair and I heard the explosion," said   
   Gene Southerland, the owner of Mr. G's Hair Design Studio in the   
   same building. "It was such a loud explosion that some plastic   
   containers fell off the shelf."   
      
   Henry Allen Jr., the NAACP chapter president, told The Gazette   
   the explosion was strong enough to knock items off the walls and   
   that volunteers who looked outside to see what happened saw what   
   they described as a gas can rigged with some kind of incendiary   
   device, such as a flare.   
      
   "We'll move on," Allen told the newspaper. "This won't deter us   
   from doing the job we want to do in the community."   
      
   Photos from the scene showed evidence markers littering the area   
   surrounding the building, local police and their police bomb   
   squad maneuvering around yellow tape.   
      
   "The investigation is ongoing and it is not known at this time   
   if the NAACP or a business in the vicinity was the intended   
   target," said Amy Sanders, an FBI special agent.   
      
   Anyone with information about the explosive device should call   
   the FBI tip line at (303) 435-7787
