West Virginia bar explosion leaves one man deadPolice has said that a man died outside a West Virginia bar Saturday when a pipe bomb he had brought detonated.

CNN has reported that no one else was injured in the 2:30 a. m. blast in Barboursville in the southwestern part of the state.

Cabell County Sheriff's Department Sheriff Tom McComas said, "We have an individual that brought explosive devices outside of the business. One of the devices detonated, proving fatal for the individual."

They evacuated scores of people from an apartment complex, mobile homes and 20 to 25 houses while searching for other bombs, Police said.

Angie Ferguson, assistant supervisor of Cabell County 911, said another pipe bomb that had not been detonated was found.

The investigation was continuing but provided few details, Authorities have said.

McComas said, "We're still in the infancy of this investigation."

Ferguson called the blast an isolated incident and said it was unlikely it was related to terrorism.

She said, "We don't have much of that here." (With Inputs from Agencies)
