Huntsville will be on the cutting edge of combating terrorist explosives.

Ground was broken Monday on the FBI's terrorist explosive device analytical center on Redstone Arsenal.

The facility will be used to analyze improvised explosive devices. Senator Richard Shelby said the $125 million facility will improve safety for America.

"It's a lot of money, but lives and the safety of our nation are very important," said Shelby.

FBI director Robert Mueller attended the ground breaking.
