ROTTERDAM, Netherlands- A bomb blast shattered windows and blew out walls at a police post near the port city of Rotterdam in a pre-dawn attack Wednesday. The building was unstaffed and there were no injuries, police said.
Police combed the area for the assailant, who apparently escaped on a motor scooter after throwing an explosive devise through the window.
"The damage is enormous," said police spokeswoman Leonie Wolters. "We can no longer use the building."
She said the type of explosive found in the wreckage may lead police to the attacker, but declined to give details.
There had been no threats and investigators were also searching for a motive, Wolters said.

My guess would be a foolish Dutch fellow who is a terrorist Muslim wannabe.

Well, we know where this came from don't we? It's going to be interesting to see if the officials stand firm or back down. If they back down it's all over for them. Hope they have what it takes to stand firm on this.

There are no reports about the description of the perpetrators. So my guess is as good as yours.
I will keep you all informed when news is available. Also I doubt the police will fill us in on details if the pers were follwers of the religon of peace.
