We don't know what it is

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - March 19, 2012

Police in Clarksville, Tennessee, are scratching their heads over a mysterious suitcase found in a trash can.

The bomb squad was dispatched and said whatever it is -- it isn't an explosive device.

The hard-sided suitcase was lined with aluminum foil and outfitted with wires, a small fan, a light bulb, sand, and electrical tape.

Police spokesman Officer Jim Knoll tells a local paper they're still trying figure out what they found.
