Kids in a northern Virginia public school district unknowingly rode a school bus this week that was also carrying “explosives training materials” left behind by the CIA after it conducted exercises with local law enforcement agencies, officials acknowledged Thursday.
The materials were packed in a container and placed in the engine compartment of a bus at Briar Woods High School in Loudoun County on March 24, officials said. It was discovered nearly a week later during a maintenance check of the bus – which by then had carried dozens of kids, including elementary school students, for at least two days.
“During the exercise, explosive training material was inadvertently left by the CIA K-9 unit in one of the buses used in the exercise,” the CIA said in a statement, which also stated the materials did not pose a danger to anyone riding the bus.
After Wednesday’s discovery, local law enforcement officials and eventually the CIA were called to retrieve the materials. Both the CIA and local officials, including the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and the Fire Marshal, which had also taken part in the exercises, declined to give a more precise description of the materials after meeting with school officials Thursday.
“The exact nature of the training material used in this exercise is not being released at the request of the CIA so as not to compromise its training techniques,” county officials said.
Officials said the material had fallen out of the container and into the engine compartment, where it went uncollected – and unnoticed – for nearly a week.
Last week was spring break in the district, but the bus was in service on Monday and Tuesday, making eight runs totaling 145 miles, and carrying 26 students attending Rock Ridge High School, Buffalo Trail Elementary School and Pinebrook Elementary School, school officials said.
After the discovery, school officials sent out an email to parents of students in the district, but the alert was short on answers and left many parents wanting a fuller explanation.
“During a routine maintenance procedure Wednesday, a Loudoun County transportation employee found an explosive training material on a school bus used in an exercise by a Federal Government agency last week,” the initial email stated. “The explosive training material was in a benign state and could not be activated through normal operation of the bus.”
One parent of a Buffalo Trail pupil, who asked not to be named, told FoxNews.com she did not understand why the CIA was conducting training on school grounds, and said she was dubious about the explanation of what was left behind.
“What are ‘explosives training materials’ anyway?” she said. “That could mean a lot of things, none of which belong on a school bus.”
CIA officials said the training was routine and part of exercises its personnel do with local law enforcement throughout the metro area.
What’s up with the CIA using school buses? With their bloated budget, they could easily buy a fleet of buses to drill on. The part about not identifying what was in the engine compartment, is nothing more than a cover-up, to minimize the danger they put children in. All involved are nothing better than domestic terrorists.
they want to use tax payers equipment for their false flags and not have to show the purchases on their books
plausible deniability
how do we know , this wasn’t going to end up being covered up as a terrorist attack?
I think the parents of that school system have a legitimate law suit, dont like the Tax payers taking the hit .. but this is BS
gross negligence
School Buses are yellow.
Bloated CIA budget is for black [projects].
“One parent of a Buffalo Trail pupil, who asked not to be named, told FoxNews.com she did not understand why the CIA was conducting training on school grounds,…”
Nothing to be concerned about, Citizen.
They’re only here to ‘help’.
CIA would only fess up if they had no other choice.
Explosives failed to blow.
Failed False Flag – CIA had to fess up to cover their pathetic attempt.
The “right wing American extremists” got lucky – for a little longer.
Yes, I am cynical.
I am Cynicles.
No problem, just the feds getting ready for the next false flag event.
Yup there’s no excuse for this , when anyone of us can go out and buy a used school bus for like 2,500$
This crap should be telling us all a lot
That is if anyone is paying attention

Hey, if I “inadvertently” left a gun in the glove compartment, does that mean if someone discovered it, I won’t go to jail?
Funny, how the government can just say, “It was an honest mistake”, but when we the people do something like this, “It’s a SWAT team with helicopters and non-stop domestic extremist propaganda”.
