MSNBC - As a private New Year’s Eve party in Seattle’s Space Needle became the latest victim of millennial terrorism fears, investigators on Wednesday were looking for clues in the theft of 200 pounds of explosives from a police bunker in California — the second heist of large amounts of explosives this month.

DYNAMITE, GUNPOWDER and the military plastic explosive C4 were stolen from a police bomb-squad bunker near Fresno, raising fears of New Year’s Eve violence. But the blasting caps were left behind, prompting one expert to suggest there wasn’t much to worry about.
 
The explosives — 125 pounds of dynamite and C4, plus 75 pounds of gunpowder — were stolen between Saturday and Monday from the reinforced concrete bunker 20 miles northeast of Fresno. “We have a great concern, and we’re not going to hide that concern,” said Fresno Police Chief Ed Winchester.
