Anne Applebaum unhurt after her car explodes

2009-12-06

Warsaw - The wife of the Polish foreign minister escaped unhurt when her car blew up in mysterious circumstances, Polish authorities said Sunday.
Looks like someone didn't like her columns
Police said Anne Applebaum, an American journalist married to foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski, was driving on Saturday evening in a Warsaw suburb when a "strange noise" from the engine prompted her to stop the car and get out.

An explosion took place shortly afterwards, seriously damaging the car but leaving Applebaum unscathed.

Applebaum has been put under police protection while officers try to establish the cause of the blast, a spokesman for the government protection bureau said in comments reported by the PAP news agency.

#4 Need a bit more information here, Cars CAN explode "Normaly".
When a rod comes through the side of the engine block, Many folks would say "It Exploded".

Question, was there a fireball,
Yes, it was a bomb,
No, it was a "Normal" explosion.(Mechanical failure)

#2 She's one of the few western journalists who still remembers, and is brave enough to document and remind us all of, the monstrously brutality of the Stalinist regime that Putin and the rest of his criminalized state idolize.

The trail likely leads to the Kremlin.

As opposed to blowing up under normal circumstances?
