Authorities have found a bomb near an ethanol plant in central Illinois, leading to evacuations. The bomb was discovered Friday afternoon at the BioUrja Renewables plant in Peoria. Officials say the bomb has been “rendered safe,” but residents within a 1-mile radius remain evacuated as the search for more bombs continues. Shelters have been set up for those displaced. Peoria Police Chief Brad Dixon called it a “credible threat” and emphasized the need to take the blast radius seriously. The FBI is investigating, but no arrests have been made.
