    Michigan police: 3 hurt in possible car bomb blast

    MONROE, Mich. (AP) — Police say an explosion in southeastern Michigan that's being investigated as a car bomb seriously injured three people inside the vehicle.

    The Monroe Police Department says in a statement that fire crews responded to the explosion around 5:40 p.m. Tuesday in Monroe near Interstate 75. Police say the three people were taken St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo, Ohio, where they were in serious condition.

    A charred shell was all that remained of the vehicle.

    Police say the investigation is in its early stages in Monroe, located about 35 miles southwest of Detroit and 20 miles northeast of Toledo.

    An FBI spokeswoman in Detroit on Wednesday referred questions to local police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. A message left with the ATF wasn't immediately returned.

        So they can say they broke the story before anyone else?

      for some reason, this does'nt seem like a bomb the terrorist would waste thier time with, its too small.might be some sort of hit.
    • Mr X  •  8 mths ago
      Just our Government selling fear... What strategic targets are even near there? If they wanted to hurt us, the terrorists would bomb a Chinese factory. Any one of them.

        With so little information given how can you ignorant people assume that the explosion was caused by someone of Arab decent. I would think it was set off by some stupid hillbilly that came to Michigan to get a good paying job at one of the union auto plants. Thousands of those hillbilly crackers came to Michigan just for those jobs.

      Sounds more like a hit,If terrorist did it it would have gone off in a high populated area.

        Not necessarily, they might have set it off by mistake...happened a lot in Iraq. It is always nice when the SOB making the bombs blows them self up however.

      This very well could be my jeep cherokee that exploded - the way it was put together I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner....

        True, or a ford explorer.
      • Hey You! 8 mths ago
        Exactly, Terrorist attack big cities, not towns of 20k.
      • 7 8 mths ago
        actually I'd like to hire these detroit or toledo people to blow it up - would like to have the insurance money

      I'd be interested to see if this guy has anything to do with the all of the Toledo area IHOPS that got raided by the FBI yesterday on suspected laundering of money to terrorists. More important did anyone see how mad those people were that they weren't allowed in to eat at the IHOPS? Terrorism, they don't care..nothing better stand in the way of an obese person and their pancakes.

      never call the cell phone you have as the remote device after you attached it to the bomb..

      Outside of a few good humorous comments (i.e. "Bush did it"), there is one thing near Monroe - the Fermi Nuclear Plant

        That, and the Lazy-Boy factory. Recliner terrorists?
    • williamw  •  8 mths ago
      Gee I didn't know car bombs were an option you could order from the manufacturer?--Are you sure they didn't take a pin and pop the airbag?
    • Deborah  •  8 mths ago
      Good reporting might have connected this story with the raids that happened in that area (Michigan and NW Ohio) recently. Possibly a connection?
    • rog  •  8 mths ago
      Michigan ? Isn't that where all those "peace lovin'" religious foreigners live?
    • Get Newtrich  •  8 mths ago
      I think the victims may have some idea as to who is responsibile. Not all victims are innocent. This goes on in Mexico daily.
    • goondman  •  8 mths ago
      Wow for something as serious as a "car bomb" sure isn't much info provided... Anyone know of a more detailed artical????
    • Carnegie Hill  •  8 mths ago
      Most likely intended for non-terrorist activity (building or another car explosion/insurance scam), but certainly worth close examination.

      This could have been a mob murder attempt of these 3 guys - or maybe they were taking the bomb somewhere themselves.
