The FBI and Peoria police began a joint investigation after a bomb was discovered at the BioUrja Renewables ethanol plant in Peoria, Illinois, leading to the evacuation of residents and workers within a one-mile radius. Police had earlier ordered the evacuation of the surrounding area, and the FBI took the lead in the investigation, prompting the evacuation of more than 5,000 people. The initial response involved police directing residents and employees within a one-mile radius to leave the area after the suspicious package was found, while federal agents later confirmed the device as a bomb and coordinated the broader evacuation effort.
