A van carrying gas bottles has rammed into the Australian Christian Lobby office headquarters and "detonated", according to the organisation.

The van was driven into the office building in Canberra late Wednesday night local time, leading to a major police response.

The offices are located about 3km from Australian Parliament House in the nation's capital.

ACL managing director Lyle Shelton tweeted photos of the aftermath and said that no staff were injured.

Another incident of a vehicle used for a terror attack.

Only an evil god could inspire such hate and behavior.

Just a “van crash”, right?

Thank goodness we have Trump coming soon!

Season’s Greetings!, infidels.

Never forget the San Bernardino terror attack.

Work place a accident

Article notes victim’s position on traditional marriage. Are they trying to blame this on homo activists? If a Christian org, my first thought would be a jihadi.

See, see! Trump’s violent, racist rhetoric again! [ /S ]

As usual, they deliberately ignore the fact that a person was driving it. Just like for 9/11, “When planes crashed into buildings”, instead of “Fanatical muzzies flew planes into WTC”.

Crikey! That’ll leave a mahk eh!

Article notes victim’s position on traditional marriage.

Interesting that they would mention that, but not mention any possible connection to the incident in Berlin. So I guess it's OK to guess about some connections, but not others.

The islamists have a thing for gas bottles. Witness how they make standardized mortar bombs out of them.

“Interesting that they would mention that, but not mention any possible connection to the incident in Berlin.”

Since posting I have wondered if perhaps the author “has those inclinations”, which might make that a prominent issue to him. It would seem a stretch to think it not related to other recent vehicular terrorism. But why late at night? Little risk of casualties. Not your typical jihadi MO. Possibly a legitimate accident? Sad that is the last possibility considered.

Darn, another registered and licensed van perpetrates Van Violence.

Nah! It’ll buff right out!

So see how deadly a “truckload” of acetylene bottles can be once ignited,for any of the various “truck crash Highway to Hell” UTube video reprints. Still-spewing Gas bottles blown 400-500 feet from the original flames, blown up into the air 300 feet.

Thanks for the links. My son, a firefighter, has probably already seen this scene, but I will pass them on to him.

My real question is "Why did those dufus types hang around for so long? " Sheesh!
