OTTAWA, April 2 (Xinhua) -- A suspicious package was found in a second Tim Hortons coffee shop in Canada's Toronto Sunday afternoon after an earlier explosion killed a man in an outlet of the same snack chain.

The store was locked down after a suspicious package was found inside the chain restaurant. It is located just a few subway stations north of the first store where the explosion occurred, local police confirmed.

An emergency task force unit was dispatched to the second location and the area had been evacuated.

A blast took place just after 1 p.m. local time in the washroom of the first Tim Hortons outlet located near the intersection of Yonge and Bloor Streets, killing a man.No other injuries were reported.

A fire department spokesman said the case had been turned over to police because it was a possible "criminal case". Police have confirmed the victim is not an employee of the restaurant and his identity is not known. No other injuries were reported.

Investigation is still underway. The cause of the explosion remains unknown. Early news reports said a man was seen going into the washroom with explosives strapped to his chest. But police would not confirm the reports. Enditem

From the original article--

...They refused to answer questions, but Tim Hortons district manager Amin Islam said they were doing well.

'Amin Islam', now there is a real Canadian sounding name. (Sarcasm can be fun!)

Just after 1 PM?....This can be verrrrrry confusing with the time change as not everyone adheres to it.

Weren't the London bombings about 1 o'clock?

Did the dude have a watch on? Check the time!!!!

Where's the car that goes with the gas can?

Where's Matlock when you need him?

I would imagine interpol will be showing up soon. God save the Queen and her British subjects.

Move along! :)

Have experience with the lone, suicide bomber theory here at OU -- only problem is that they now admit he accidentally blew himself up which translates into he was trying to blow all of us up but couldn't get in the stadium that night.

Also the FBI is setting up a terrorism office here to take care of the 'potential' lone, suicide bombers that might come forward. (saracasm)
