” The bomb squad detonated one of the pipe bombs at the scene. “
Hmmmmm.... Assuming that the reporter knows the difference between ‘detonated’ and ‘disrupted’, (admittedly not a particularly safe assumption) this doesn’t sound like a ‘hoax’ or ‘art project’ to me.....
Ping to Cindy - you might find this interesting....
Yep, I already shared this article.
No, I didn’t get that “artsy” feel, either.
Hoping more details become available.
Jihadists want a room with a view?
“Blew up” is probably the correct description here, but a journalist-critter probably though detonated sounded more impressive. SOMETHING obviously detonated, but it may well have been the device police used to blow up the object, and not the object itself.
