Vienna police investigating cause of explosion in building overnight
Federal counterterrorism authorities on Wednesday were examining the wreckage of a Vienna building that sustained heavy damage in a suspicious explosion overnight, officials said.
Austria's national anti-terrorism squad was deployed after firefighters found batteries, cables and other items that suggested a homemade explosive device may have been detonated.
No one was injured in the blast, which also damaged several vehicles parked in front of the residential building, located next to a mosque and a Turkish-owned business.
The explosion occurred at about 2:40 a.m. (0140 GMT), blowing out windows and heavily damaging the first floor of the dwelling, police said. As of midday, investigators had filled 58 plastic bags with fragments of what appeared to be an explosive device, police spokesman Walter Hladik said.
