NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A sport utility vehicle exploded in a parking lot at Nashville's largest hotel, killing one man inside. Authorities said they suspected a homemade bomb was involved. ...


I don't know whether it's worth mentioning here but Nashville's nickname (other than Music City) is "Athens of the South". There's a full-sized replica of the Parthenon there. I only point it out because of the Olympics being held in Athens this year and I have family in Nashville who I have generally considered safer than myself since we are just outside of DC. Aww, it's probably nothing. The guy probably just wanted to commit suicide but didn't want it to be something ordinary.

The explosion occurred late Tuesday about a half-mile from the main entrance of Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, and about 200 feet from a day care center, which was closed, said Jim Cavanaugh of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Police said the blast was felt miles away, and it left nothing but a shell of the SUV.
