“A device has exploded inside a teacher’s car near a school in Liverpool.
Merseyside police said no-one was injured when it went off at Runnymede St Edward’s, a Catholic primary school in the West Derby area.
Sky News correspondent Mike McCarthy said it was a substantial explosion.
He said Superintendent Ian Pilling, who called crime “despicable”, had told him a teacher’s silver car was “considerably damaged”.
Mr Pilling said the car was only 30ft away from the school building when the device exploded at 2.50pm.
“An explosive device had been placed inside the car,” he said.
“At this stage we can’t say exactly what device it was but it was detonated inside the vehicle.
“This was a despicable offence. Children were in the process of leaving, nobody was killed or injured but that was down to good luck.”
The primary, and a nearby senior school, was evacuated immediately after the bomb went off in an area for staff parking.
Damon Younis, 38, who lives next to the school, said: “There was a bomb, it was a nail bomb.”
Oh, my God! These people are animals. And it is no religion of peace.
Perhaps the "teacher" had the bomb stashed in his car and the heat of the day set it off.
Nail bombs aren't used inside cars, they are used outside in crowded places to inflict max damage. Ball bearing bombs are used inside cars to kill the occupants.
This teacher perhaps never had a chance to place the bomb, and was waiting till school was out to finish the job.
I wouldn't rule out the teacher as a suspect just yet. Search his house for bomb making materials.
Sorry, realized you had already given the answer to Betty.
