The vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge connecting the cities of Niagara Falls, New York and Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada on Wednesday is reported to be an attempted terrorist attack.
Fox News reporter Alexis McAdams reports sources say this was an attempted terrorist attack, “High level police sources tell me this is an attempted terrorist attack. Sources say the car was full of explosives. Both men inside dead.” A U.S. Border Patrol agent is reported to have been injured. The vehicle is reported to have been on the U.S. side approaching to enter Canada when it ... exploded.
Fox reports government buildings in the area have been evacuated.
Ontario police posted a video Wednesday saying that they are closing bridges to the U.S. and roadways approaching the bridges after a vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls. Governments on both sides of the Niagara River are responding to the explosion as if it was a terrorist attack.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is traveling to Buffalo and has directed New York State Police to workk with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force to monitor New York-Canada crossings:
I grew up on Grand Island, which is about 3 miles from the bridge.

It is weird, unless the plan was to stay in Canada with the explosives until returning to the US Thanksgiving or Black Friday.
Unless they intended to hit a synagogue or something on the Canada side this weekend with additional explosives.
I noticed.
But I can’t imagine they were heading INTO CANADA............
I mean...we saw a car bomb today....suppose, suppose...100 terrorists enter the parade area and start spraying...Sorry to be so dramatic...and what if...is a terrible thing...but these are terrible people.
On a distantly related note. The film Niagra starring Marilyn Monroe is a surprisingly terrific movie.
If I was headed to Canada, I would blow myself up too.
Maybe they are Steelers fans who are confused the country isn’t their ex offensive coordinator.
Pretty piddly explosion.
It has been their MO to have a pre-attack incident. it tells them what cities are prepared for...
Picture of the terrorists.
One said US...another said Canada
Other probably more reliable reports say the car was trying to enter the US from Canada.
I see two Sikhs and an a-hole...............
Other probably more reliable reports say the car was trying to enter the US from Canada:
“...The City of Niagara Falls says the explosion came from a car that was trying to enter the US from Canada.
It comes just two days after an intelligence report signaled increased risk of a terror attack in New York City.
