The FBI will search for more bombs today in the bunker where a five-year-old boy from Alabama was held hostage.
Authorities found two homemade bombs yesterday.
One was in the underground bunker, the other was in a pipe that the hostage taker used to communicate with police.
Jimmy Lee Dykes was killed in a raid on the bunker Monday.
The boy, named Ethan, was rescued and today is his sixth birthday.
He was taken hostage last week when Dykes attacked a school bus and killed the driver.
A six-day hostage standoff came to an end when a man holed up a bunker was found dead and police recovered the 5-year-old he abducted, according to a law enforcement official.
The FBI continues to investigate the bunker where the 5-year-old was apparently held by Jimmy Lee Dykes.
