Panaca Explosions: Residents Returning Home

About 30 people have been allowed back home in a rural Nevada town after authorities say a man killed himself detonating two bombs.

Lincoln County sheriff's dispatcher Toni Lytle said Friday that the scene in Panaca reopened late Thursday after authorities finished combing the area for more explosives.

Officials say Nevada Division of Forestry inmate firefighters have been brought in to help retrieve debris that the blasts scattered over a 1-mile radius late Wednesday.

The investigation has led four hours away to Kingman, Arizona, where about 100 people have been evacuated from an RV park while police search a motorhome believed owned by the bomber.
