The pair arrested for placing a bomb under a vehicle were trying to blow up a local Fox News van, according to the outlet.
Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, were taken into custody in Salt Lake City on Sunday, according to a probable cause statement reviewed by FOX13.
Bomb squads with the Salt Lake City Police Department and officials with the Unified Fire Authority responded to reports of a suspicious device on Friday.
They soon discovered an incendiary device was placed under a vehicle, near an occupied building, per the records.
Luckily, the device has been lit but 'failed to function,' officials said.
