Sounds like the kind of thing the IRA would do, but haven't those days passed. At least no one seems to have died. Quite a random target.

Call CTU...

It's a nail bomb, no question about it. I just got off the phone to my dad whose heading there, my mates are all headed over there but the WHOLE high-street is cordined off up to Tesco (which is quite a distance). Nandos & Topman will be on high alert since they're the 2 closest, same with Fat Face. I'm thankful I got off College early today because I probably would've went to Nandos for dinner being paid today.

It's definetly a terrorist bomb, but it looks like the man who tried to set it off was the one who got injured which might be why the bomb didn't have such a devastating effect. I'm really shocked though... Exeter is so peaceful, but there really is no police presence in the City Centre so this is probably the only day you'll see police in Exeter. Tommorow in college will be interesting.

EDIT: My dad's going to the Princesshay Management briefing now, might just get some details in before the Press. Also there's reports that a second man is on the loose and in fact the man which was injured was Terrorist Bomber. The accomplice has ran off it seems but he too has a package similar to the injured man. Princesshay's going to be like Fort Knox tommorow, oh god.

How do you know it's a nail bomb? Such a small target too.

The reports from inside Exeter are saying its a nailbomb, the glass seems to have smashed in the restaurant due to the impact and the nails didn't come out, which is why there is only one casualty. Press ain't covering it until the management meeting so then you'll hear it's a nailbomb.

Thing is, it takes one person to detonate a bomb but it takes another to make it. I really am looking forward to another year in College lol.
