Car bomb found in central Brussels
A booby-trapped vehicle was found Friday parked close to the main Brussels-Midi railway station in the heart of the Belgian capital. Police evacuated the area around the station after the vehicle was found parked with two explosive grenades connected to its petrol tank on the rue de Merode at midday. The vehicle was safely removed after a two-hour intervention by army bomb disposal experts, the Belgian agency said. Brussels-Midi is one of the capitalâs busiest stations and houses the terminal for Eurostar trains between Belgium and Britain. There was no immediate official comment as to a possible terrorist link with the booby-trapped vehicle.Thatâs actually an improvement. Usually "the authorities" will automatically deny a terror link, then *mumble* and *evade* when one is found. âCourse, itâs kinda hard to explain away two grenades wired to a gas tank!
