LAX dry ice bombs: 4 devices left in restricted areas, police say - latimes.com

No connection to terrorism?

Officials said an airport employee heard an explosion in a men's room and went to investigate. He discovered a 20-ounce plastic bottle that had contained the dry ice. The blast did no damage, and no injuries were reported.

That area is also off limits to the public, police officials said.

On Monday night, detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department's Criminal Conspiracy Section were investigating how the bombs were placed in security areas.

"Apparently there is no nexus to terrorism right now," LAPD Det. Gus Villanueva told The Times.

The FBI was assisting the LAPD in the investigation.
