The two men were arrested Sunday at their home in Magna. They were accused of hiding an incendiary device found underneath a news media vehicle parked next to an occupied building.

According to police, the explosive had been lit but apparently malfunctioned.

A search warrant was obtained and executed at the suspect's home.

Investigators found two devices that turned out to be hoax weapons of mass destruction. They also found additional explosives and "explosive-related components," firearms and other paraphernalia.
