| Nigerian police detect car bomb |
| 2014-07-08 |
| [Iran Press TV] Nigerian security sources say they have defused a boom-mobile abandoned near a school in the volatile northeastern city of Gombe. On Monday, bomb experts detected improvised explosives in the car that was found near a secondary school, said Fwaje Attajiri, a police front man. "Our ordnance experts discovered 12 IEDs (improvised bombs) in the trunk of the car left in the vicinity of the school after we were alerted," Attajiri noted. "The explosives had the capacity of causing maximum damage and would have caused huge casualty had they detonated in the school with a high student population." |

| #1 I was going to say, 'Did they detect it by the loud noise it made?' Twelve bombs in one car is kinda dumb; you really want to spread them out to get better blast and frag dispersion. (And then there's the 'fratricide' grouping issue...) |
