NEW YORK (Dagbladet): It was a caravan loaded with a bomb that exploded on a quiet street at Christmas in downtown Nashville. The reason or who is behind it is still unknown.
Anonymous law enforcement sources told CBS, AP and ABC that the remains of a human were found near where a motor home exploded in Nashville, Tennessee. It is unclear whether the remains to be found are those of a possible perpetrator or an innocent victim. It is also unclear whether they can be identified.
This must be the car bomb
In addition, the explosion caused the fall of several communication networks.
– Chaos and fear
Both the FBI and other law enforcement authorities are investigating the case.
The motorhome must have played evacuation recordings
Police had been notified of the shooting on Friday morning. When they arrived at the scene, they found the caravan, which had a loudspeaker, which issued a warning that a bomb would explode in 15 minutes. Soon after, the car exploded. This was stated by Police Chief John Drake at a press conference. A close-up surveillance video has also been posted, where the warning can be heard.
He wants a good recovery injured
– This morning’s attack on our local community was intended to create chaos and fear this season for peace and hope. But people in Nashville have shown time and again that that spirit cannot be destroyed, Mayor John Cooper said at a news conference after the city imposed a curfew in the wake of the incident.
Police believe the blast was a deliberate act, but they do not yet know the motive or purpose. According to Drake, no authority has received threats prior to the explosion.
– Crime scene investigators have found tissue, which we think may be remains, but needs to be examined further, Drake says.
Telephone company
Three other people were injured in the incident. The condition is stable for everyone, according to Cooper.
Fire Department: Bomb
The explosion also caused massive damage to several buildings, located in the heart of Nashville’s tourist district, with its distinctive honkytonk bars. The AT&T telephone company building is also nearby.
– We do not know if it was a coincidence, or if it was proven, says Police spokesman Don Aardon, according to AP.
AT&T claims that the building, which was affected, is a central office for phone lines and contained network equipment. The blast caused parts of the network to collapse in parts of Tennessee and Kentucky. Various law enforcement authorities also claim that the emergency phone, 911, was dropped as a result. The problems extended to Knoxville, located 29 miles east of Nashville.
The US Federal Aviation Administration also felt compelled to suspend flights to and from the Nashville airport due to communications network problems.
