| Bomb detonates in truck, setting 4 people on fire in Winnipeg
Bomb detonates in truck, setting 4 people on fire in Winnipeg Quote:
Two people are in critical condition after a bomb went off inside a pickup truck in Winnipeg, setting ablaze the vehicle and four occupants, police said.
A man, 27, and woman, 20, are fighting for their lives in hospital. A man, 22, and a boy, 17, were treated for serious injuries.
The explosion happened around 11:15 p.m. Saturday in the city's Brooklands neighbourhood. Immediately afterwards, the truck drove into a fire hydrant at the intersection of Gallagher Avenue West and Midmar Avenue.
The improvised explosive device was in a bag inside the cab of the truck when it accidentally went off, Winnipeg Police Service spokesman Const. Rob Carver said Tuesday.
"The four victims who were injured were not intended victims. They were innocent parties," he said.
Carver danced around some questions, saying he was unable to provide specific answers because of the ongoing investigation. He noted, however, the bag was brought to a 7–Eleven parking lot at Gallagher and Keewatin Street by someone not connected to the four people from the truck.
That person left the bag to go inside the store and it was then stolen by the people from the truck, he said.
The person who brought the bag to the 7–Eleven was also not an intended victim and might not have known what was inside, Carver said. He wouldn't elaborate further on what police know about the bomb or its intended target.
"We have some sense of that but it's not something we can release on at this point," he said. "There are just elements I cannot speak on at this point."
but added the situation is "incredibly alarming" to police.
The truck had only driven about 50 metres from the 7–Eleven when the bomb detonated.
"It's just luck that they [victims] weren't more seriously injured," said Carver. "We've got video of the truck on fire. It's a horrific scene and I can tell you the Winnipeg Police Service has devoted all of the resources that we can to tying this up."
He apologized for being vague on providing some answers as to what happened, saying he is struggling to balance the needs of transparency with the need to maintain the integrity of this investigation.
"I know it's confusing … but that's the best we can do at this point," Carver said.
Initially, emergency crews responded to what was believed to be a crash that caused the truck to go up in flames.
The four people were found outside the vehicle suffering from severe burns.
Anyone with information that may assist investigators is asked to call 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
Stolen bomb detonates in truck, setting 4 people on fire in Winnipeg - Manitoba - CBC News | This seems like it would be a fairly big story since it involves a bomb, yet it took some searching before I found it on CBC's main page on the sidebar. Is this really only being reported today or did I just happen to miss any news about it since it occurred Saturday night?
Such an odd story. The injured victims stole the bag with the device. The police are even saying the person who had the bag stolen may not have been aware of its contents?

Am I reading this right? The people in the truck stole a bag that unknowingly had a bomb in it and it blew up when they got 50 meters from the store?

It can't have been a very powerful bomb if it went off in the cab of a truck and they survived. I'm curious what it was intended for.

Story Updated.
This part stood out: Quote:
Nick Chastellaine, whose girlfriend was the one who took the bag, told CBC she intended to turn it over to police.
Chastellaine wasn't in the truck, but his girlfriend, cousin and friend were three of the four occupants. He said he spoke to them afterward, and they told him they opened the bag to see if there was anything inside to identify the owner.
That's when the bag burst into flames, he said.
"The whole truck, inside the cab, just ignited into flames within like seconds," he said. "All of them are saying it was a flash before their eyes, because they all thought they were going to die."
| Usually, when finding a lost item at a business, most people tend to bring it into the store to see if the person is there, or to leave it with the clerk in case the owner comes back. These were opportunistic thieves that got pwned.

Then again, they saved the police from getting blown up too.

Tell you what, why don't you go ahead and compile a list of bombings perpetrated by whites so you have them at the ready, should a "brown" person be found responsible. That way, you can continue to white knight (for lack of a less white term) for the "brown" people while not actually adding anything of relevance to the discussion.
