Australia: Van crashes on Christian organization’s offices & explodes!

The van was loaded with LPG cylinders

Newsroom December 21 06:04

A van crashed on the offices of a Christian organization in Canberra. The crash was followed by an explosion. So far there are no reports of casualties.

The incident brought panic to the bystanders as the images of the Berlin attack are still quit recent. It is still not clear if the crash is the result of a similar attack or if it is just an accident. However, the fact that it happened only a few days before Christmas causes concern as to the possibility of this being a terrorist attack.
