AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - A 27-year-old Austin man was arrested on Friday and charged with placing an unexploded bomb containing some 2,000 nails outside an abortion clinic in the state's capital.

The explosive device also included a propane tank and a mechanism "akin to a rocket," Austin Police Commander David Carter said.

The device was discovered on Wednesday in the parking lot of the Austin Women's Health Center, police said.

The Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force -- made up of federal, state and local law enforcement authorities -- arrested Paul Ross Evans, who authorities said was on parole for an unspecified crime.

Evans was charged with violating federal laws banning the manufacture of explosives and interfering with access to an abortion clinic. He appeared before a federal magistrate, and was being held without bail.

No further arrests were anticipated in the case. "The threat is over," Carter said.

2. Hey I learned something from this

You can buy bomb making material at Wal-Mart at everyday low prices, and it's not smart to use your credit card when purchasing items you plan to use to make a weapon of mass destruction.

3. Ah the virtues of religion.

Want to blow up some doctors and nurses? Use religion as an excuse!

Want to fly planes into a building? Use religion as an excuse!

All religions are dangerous and irrational.
