A mix-up with daylight saving time may have caused a car bomb to blow up in the face of a bumbling bomber in Dublin.
The unidentified bomber was seen fleeing from the wreckage of a ruined Volvo SUV on Sunday evening, while “dripping in blood” after the device that was attached to the vehicle went off early.
Clocks in Ireland were turned ahead on Sunday night.
“It would appear that the bomber got his timings wrong. It could be a case where he didn’t put his watch forward on Sunday [at 1am] and the timer went off too soon,” the Daily Mirror reported.
After the explosion, the man was seen getting into a taxi.
“We are appealing for anyone who might have picked up a person in the New Street and Clanbrassil Street area shortly after 11pm who was quite obviously suffering to come forward,” said Supt. Dave Taylor of Ireland’s Garda press office. “It was a very extensive explosion and it was a very frightening experience for the people on Long Lane,” Taylor said. “It is quite obvious that the car was the object of this attack.”
The owner of the car runs a local business and has no criminal convictions.

So it’s all down to something and/or someone else, including the preposterous theory that the newspaper fabricated the story including photoshopping the on the scene pictures. Also the snide comment about having a sense of humor - I guess that came from your brother as well. Yeah, that’s the ticket..
That’s exactly what I expected from you. No way you would simply man up and say, “Hey, I was wrong - sorry.”
Wow the anger is strong in this one..
Waiting for you to post the follow up story??
