WLOSers said that investigators today plan to release more information in the case of the Sept. 26 explosion at the Super Wal-Mart in Sylva. The blast injured five people. It went down in the sporting goods section of the store and triggered an investigation by the SBI and federal ATF dudes.

A couple of weeks ago, police begged for the public’s help and released pictures of “people of interest” that were seen walking aroun the store. Today, the cops will give out a description of a vehicle and announce a cash reward for information leading to an arrest.

We want to know what’s going on here. Is this a case of a bomber planting a bomb, or was it more along the lines of a prank? The cops haven’t said much, but they sure are interested in finding whoever’s responsible.
