Jersey City, N.J. — Police in Jersey City, N.J., have foiled a bomb plot that might have been the result of a landlord-tenant dispute.

Deputy Police Chief Peter Nalbach says the primitive bomb, consisting of a gas can with a wire attached to it, was found inside a vacant pizzeria on the ground floor of a three-story building Monday. Nalbach says police are focusing on a man who once rented the pizzeria and may have had a legal dispute with the building’s owner.

Police and fire units had responded to the building for a report of a gas leak and found the would-be bomb set to go off if the front door was opened.

Police Chief Thomas Comey says investigators are interviewing two suspects and could announce arrests later in the day.
