Unhappy Woman finds bomb in used car she bought

From AP:

Woman finds bomb in used car she bought

PAPILLON, Neb. - A Nebraska woman found an unexpected option in a used car she bought - a bomb.

The woman was trying to get the air conditioning fixed when a homemade explosive device fell out of a vent. Authorities say the bomb was about a half-foot long and looked like it had been in the car for quite awhile.

Investigators are now trying to track down the car's previous owners, but finding the bomb-maker could be more of a challenge. The car was purchased from a dealership and was once used as a rental.
