Small explosives concealed in alarm clocks detonated at Ikea furniture stores in Belgium, France and The Netherlands, Belgian authorities said Tuesday.
The explosions in stores in the Belgian city of Ghent, Lille in northern France and Eindhoven in The Netherlands caused no damage or injuries.
"The information we have is that the explosions happened the same way in all locations, with booby-trapped alarm clocks that had been hidden exploding," according to An Schoonjans, spokeswoman for Ghent prosecutors.

I hate when I have three screws, a shelf and an alarm clock with sticks of dynamite attached left over when I’m done building some Ikea furniture.

Somebody doesn't like Swedish-based IKEA. The only thing I notice was a protest in Sweden a week ago over a
