Another LAX worker was arrested on Friday. Miguel Iniguez was said to have connections with the dry ice explosions. He was arrested and being held with a $500,000 bail. He was suspected of possessing a destructive device linked to the dry ice bomb incidents. Iniguez was working in the same department as Dicarlo Bennett, the man who was first arrested, he was actually Bennett's supervisor. Bennett was arrested earlier in the week being accused of creating two ice bombs that exploded in the LAX airport. Both explosions went off in the employees bathroom. Bennett has pleaded not guilty and his attorney said that he removed the dry ice from a cargo bay to protect a dog that was being transported. Apparently he was scared the fumes would harm the dog. Police reported that both explosions were not intended to be a type or terrorism but only for Bennett's amusement. After both incidents a third dry ice bomb was found but it had not been detonated. This whole incident caused a lot of traffic for the air port since the bomb squad was called in two days in a row and many flights were delayed.
