Male suspect in New Hampshire charged with planting 2 explosives that went off in Weare

A male suspect has been charged after two explosions went off in Weare, New Hampshire, on different roads within two days. Authorities believe the explosives were not targeting anyone.

A man has been accused of placing two explosive devices in a New Hampshire town, state and federal authorities said.

Both devices went off in the town of Weare. The first one went off Wednesday evening along a road. There was no property damage and a small fire was extinguished, police said.

The second one went off on Thursday on a different road. WMUR-TV reports a man driving to work saw some smoke coming from a ditch. He went to take a look and witnessed an explosion. He said he suffered minor injuries.

Police said a "fully constructed" pipe bomb was seized following a search of his vehicle and home on Thursday.

The man was scheduled for a court appearance later Friday. It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney.
