| A car bomb caused a powerful explosion on a Michigan street that seriously injured a father and his two sons, who are "very fortunate" to have survived the attack, which turned their vehicle into a blackened hunk of metal, a federal official said Wednesday. Law enforcement agents put evidence in a bag on Elm Street in Monroe, where the ATF says a Michigan car bomb blast seriously injured a man and his two sons. Investigators were poring over what remained of the vehicle after the Tuesday evening blast, looking for clues about how the bomb was made and who might have planted it, said Donald Dawkins, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. "There was a lot of power behind it. The victims are very fortunate, very blessed, to be alive," Dawkins said. |
