Fire investigator Jim, eh?

"Police officers at the scene said it's not known if the 33-year-old victim was targeted."

Whether or not she was targeted, her car definitely was.

Had someone lit a slow match and tossed the device under the car, I would be willing to assume vandalism and a non-specific target.

But rigging a wire to activate a detonator when the car moves is definitely targeting the car and its driver.

The law presumes that a perpetrator intends the ordinary and forseeable consequences of his act. It is ordinary and forseeable that the next person to move that car would be its owner or a member of her family.
