The really weird attack last night on the TSA in a New Orleans airport got even more odd when it was discovered that the attacker had six molotov cocktail bombs in his backpack. <br />The police have also said that the suspect died from his injuries: <br /> <br />Richard White, 63. the suspect believed to have carried out a machete attack Friday night in New Orleans, is dead, AP reported late Saturday. <br /> <br />White was shot three times at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport during his horrific attack and was pronounced dead at 5:02 pm Saturday. <br /> <br />Authorities say the suspect in the brazen machete attack may have been planning to bomb the site as well. <br /> <br />Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said Richard White, 63, carried a bag with six gasoline-filled Molotov cocktails and a barbecue lighter when he assaulted Transportation Security Administration workers at Louis Armstrong International Airport. <br /> <br />Authorities also found an acetylene tank, smoke bombs and other supplies in his car, Normand said at a news conference Saturday afternoon. <br /> <br />Police were investigating “a mental illness component” in the attack, Normand said.
