Explosive Device Is Detonated Outside Alabama Attorney General's Office
HuffPost
The incident happened as Alabama grapples with a controversial IVF ruling, which AG Steve Marshall said he wouldn't enforce.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall revealed Monday that an explosive device was detonated outside his office building over the weekend.
No one was hurt, and officials are carrying out an investigation. The explosive was set off a day after Marshall said he would not enforce the state Supreme Court’s controversial new ruling on in vitro fertilization, though his office did not connect the two events.
“In the early hours of Saturday, February 24, an explosive device was detonated outside of the Alabama Attorney General’s Office building in Montgomery,” Marshall said in a statement. “Thankfully, no staff or personnel were injured by the explosion. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency will be leading the investigation, and we are urging anyone with information to contact them immediately.”
It was not clear from the statement if the device exploded on its own or was blown up by law enforcement.
A day before the device was detonated, Marshall’s office said he had “no intention of using the recent Alabama Supreme Court decision as a basis for prosecuting IVF families or providers.” His office issued the statement after multiple IVF clinics in the state announced last week that they would no longer be able to provide IVF services out of concern over criminal prosecution after the court ruled that embryos are legally children.
