‘Unprecedented Threat’: IED Discovered Near Dam Considered Critical National Infrastructure<\/a><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, during routine repair and maintenance at the Converse Reservoir dam in Mobile, Alabama, the divers assessing the dam discovered an\u00a0improvised explosive device (IED)<\/a>. This is serious and should have gotten more attention than it is currently receiving.<\/p>\n

The multi-agency effort included the Mobile County Sheriff\u2019s Office, FBI Bomb Squad, Mobile Police Department Explosive Ordinance Detail, ALEA Bomb Squad and the Daphne Search and Rescue Team.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Converse Reservoir dam at Big Creek Lake is the municipal reservoir for the County of Mobile. It is the sole water supply for the region, and the main source of drinking water for the city of Mobile and other municipalities. According to the Partners for Environmental Progress, the reservoir\u00a0provides<\/a>\u00a0approximately 60 million gallons of water per day.<\/p>\n

The fact that the\u00a0threat was an IED<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 something engineered for a specific level of detonation and damage \u2014 indicates planning and specific targeting. With the recent IED attacks in New York and the rise of threatened and attempted domestic terrorism incidents across the nation, the fact that an IED was placed in the midst of critical infrastructure is concerning.<\/p>\n
