Breaking News / BBC : City restaurant blast - **Update**

Very suprised at this, Exeter is hardly a primary terrorist target. Only got back home from Exeter on Monday aswell, so I've missed all the commotion!

It's to strike fear into the masses! When they start hitting areas that are 'not expected' it'll make you think twice about you're city...

Although it's probably just gas explosion / angry employee / deranged individual.
 
I like the reports that:

a) only the "suspect" was injured.
b) the "explosions" sounded more like popping sounds than big bangs.

Clearly an incompetent wannabe who only managed to get his detonators to go off and not his main explosive.
 
Well apparently it happened in the toilet...I'm thinking it probably was a gas explosion. Injuries certainly possible, especially with the food Giraffe serve.
 
Well the prices in Giraffe are a bit higher than most places but a quiet word would have been a better way of getting your point across rather than bombing the place :p

My office is about a 20 second walk away, didn't hear any bangs just the sirens afterwards.

Masses of police (lots with guns too) and fire dept there, first they wouldn't let us out the building. Then they said we had to evacuate, so they kept us outside at the far end of the road, I'd have felt safer (if I'd actually felt in any danger that is) staying inside thankyou very much, but I guess they know best seeing as it's their job!

Then they moved us into the car park at the end of the road, then said we could go through the car park out onto Paris street if we wanted to leave. If I hadn't lost my house key somewhere I'd have had a nice early afternoon home, I can't remember if I left it on my desk when leaving or if it might have fallen out somewhere :(

Of course didn't realise this till I got home, went all the way back up there but they still weren't letting us in the area, just heard the barriers are now down though. They also just confirmed that apparently there was a second device that has now been 'made safe'.

Bugger! Just this once I had it down as something other than those cretins, I thought it was going to be those Cornish independence guys this time.
 
Hmm, let's not let speculation get too rife. "Suspected" could mean someone made it up.

Strange target for a terrorist attack...
