bicycle jihad:

Authorities are searching for the person or people responsible for setting off an improvised explosive device (IED) on a bicycle path that runs parallel to I-205 last night.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said the device was ignited on a bike path that runs along the highway near Strawberry Lane on the west side of the highway…

After looking into this a bit more it looks like this may be anti-bicycle-jihad. Most notably, there has also been some vandalization in addition to this pipe bomb which I have mapped out because I'm nerdy like that. That same blog states that "Parts of the I-205 bike and pedestrian trails have no lighting or very limited lighting because vandals have ripped apart the lighting fixtures." Sorry to play this down...

Was this really referred to as an IED? (Sorry, I didn't read the original news article.) Wow, my teen-aged self would've been sent to Guantanamo for sure.
