ESCONDIDO - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared San Diego County a disaster area because of the discovery of a massive stockpile of highly explosive materials in a home in an unincorporated area near Escondido.
Schwarzenegger's declaration comes a day after the San Diego County Board of Supervisors requested that he declare a state of emergency.http://www.sandiego6.com/news/local/...SScz8rAkQ.cspxThe house at 1954 Via Scott has been under scrutiny since Nov. 18 when 49-year-old Mario Garcia of Fallbrook sustained serious but not life- threatening injuries when he stepped on something akin to a land mine in the yard, causing a small explosion. Resident George Jakubec, 54, was arrested later the same day.
Authorities plan to burn down the house.
From 24 Nov
