These coordinated attacks have all the hallmarks of a newly resurgent Al-Qaeda.

On morning news they said a suspected van was blown up by police in a controlled explosion so it wouldn’t be done later when people were around… Might have been the one in the article.

Yeah, I was wondering if this was a sudden detonation or a controlled one. The headline is ambiguous, but leans towards “successful attack.” And, the article is ambiguous about whether the bombs exploded while being defused, e.g. killing the bomb squad.

May have been attempt to defuse w/o explosion that went awry and not a controlled explosion.
