Denver, January 14 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Colorado, the FBI says a deliberate explosion outside an office of the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, may have been an act of domestic terrorism.

An improvised explosive device was detonated on the NAACP building’s wall in Colorado Springs; a gasoline can was placed nearby, but did not ignite. An FBI spokesperson says a hate crime is among the potential motives. Police have announced a person of interest in the case -- a white male around the age of 40.

The bombing of the NAACP, the U.S.'s oldest civil rights group, has received almost no attention in the corporate media. According to the website ThinkProgress, a search of news coverage on Internet sources found just one mention on CNN and none on MSNBC and Fox News.

According to the NAACP, the attack follows the shooting of a school bus that was traveling with the group’s 120-mile protest march in Missouri last month.
