The Car Explosion Outside A French Synagogue Was Caused By A Mechanical Failure

[WayneS]

I do not know French.

What sort of “mechanical failure” are they saying caused the explosion?

Of course, if the car was of French manufacture then I might find the “accidental explosion” claim a little more credible. Was the vehicle in question perhaps a 1972 Citroen DS?

Someone on FR joked about this excuse this morning.
