| A £30,000 Mercedes was blown up by a homemade bomb in a quiet residential street. Terrified neighbours were woken by the night-time blast, which blew out shop windows. Police are hunting two men seen running from the silver 4x4 which had false number plates shortly before the explosion in Glasgow’s St Vincent Crescent. But officers have ruled out any connection with the brutal murder of teenager Kriss Donald. (Link) Nobody was injured in the incident in the Finnieston area. The explosion took place at around 11.50pm on Thursday. The suspects ran into Minerva Street and fled in a dark metallic car. Elaine Docherty, 22, who works in a nearby bar, said she saw a teenager carrying a plastic bag. She said: ’He walked past my flat window and five minutes later the whole place went boom.’ Another resident said that it could have been a bloodbath. She explained: ’People visiting the SECC for concerts park here. ’At the same time the previous day there were a lot of teenage girls coming back after seeing Busted. ’If that had gone off then, people would have been killed.’ A police spokesman said: ’We are satisfied this is not connected with the death of Kriss Donald.’ |
