Police said Tuesday that a "suspicious device" found on the roof of a business after a fire earlier this month was a rocket. Authorities are attempting to determine whether the case is connected to a series of attacks on the Hemet Gang Task Force.

The fire was reported June 3 at Los Altos Market in Hemet. Police said the nine-pound, inert training rocket malfunctioned and landed on the roof of the building, where firefighters found it after the blaze was extinguished.

Authorities said the M29A2 rocket was pointed in the general direction of the Hemet Police Department, according to Southwest Riverside News Network.

The discovery came amid an investigation into attacks against the city's Gang Task Force and City of Hemet property.

When the blaze was first reported June 3, Lt. Duane Wisehart said, "Based on the type of device, time of occurrence and close proximity to the police facility, the investigation is being handled by the same task force as the prior attacks on police and city buildings and vehicles."

The attacks began in December when a gas line of the roof of the Gang Task Force building was directed into the building. In February, a device described as a "home-made zip-gun" was discovered as a task force officer opened a gate at the building.

In March, an explosive device was attached to an unmarked patrol car. Later than month, four city code enforcement trucks were torched in the Hemet City Hall parking lot.

In April, a fire damaged a mobile home used for police training.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, which burned pallets at the market.

They're taking queues from the Animalstinians.

If they are given traction and legitimacy, "Aztlan" will become another "Palestine" to crusade for.

If memory serves a M29 is a Korean War vintage anti-armor weapon.  Couple the age with :

nine-pound, inert training rocket

And, sadly, I'd almost bet that they actuall DID buy this one at an Arizona gun show.

I see that kind of stuff all the time at shows around here. An idiot could think you could make it work with some explosive and a motor.

There are those in the PRC and the ME who would be more than happy to take a stab at sending them a container of real mortars or Katyushas, just for the PITA/FUD factor it would stir up here.

Can't resist can we?  And we're done.
