FBI: Bombs found in Alabama kidnapper's bunker

Midland City, Alabama (CNN) -- Two bombs were discovered Tuesday inside the bunker where an FBI team rescued a 5-year-old boy from his kidnapper, the agency said.

The FBI said they "disrupted" the two explosive devices. One was in the bunker and another was in the PVC pipe that hostage taker Jimmy Lee Dykes sometimes used to communicate with the authorities, Special Agent in Charge Steve Richardson said in a written statement.

The agency sent in a hostage rescue team after negotiations broke down with Dykes, who apparently had bombs in the bunker and shot at agents when they stormed the bunker.

The search for other bombs will continue Wednesday, Richardson said.

Dykes had held a 5-year-old named Ethan since abducting him from his school bus.
Ethan's mother said she awoke Tuesday to what she will forever remember as "the most beautiful sight ... my sweet boy."
