Local police as well as police specializing in counter-terrorism are investigating the explosion, which took place outside Liverpool Women's Hospital in northwest England Sunday.

Authorities are keeping "an open mind as to what caused the explosion," an earlier police statement said.

"So far we understand that the car involved was a taxi which pulled up at the hospital shortly before the explosion occurred," according to the statement.

The injured person is being treated in hospital and has not suffered life-threatening injuries, police said. The incident occurred at about 11 a.m. local time (6 a.m. ET).

Members of the public are urged to remain calm but vigilant, the police statement added. Visiting access to the hospital has been restricted, according to a notice on the hospital's website.

Appears to be an actual hospital and not merely an abortuary.

I guess I consider Liverpool to be in northwestern England about the same as saying Cincinnati is in northeastern United States.

Cincinnati is the largest city in Kentucky.

-Apparently it was a suicide bomber- he took a cab to women’s hospital and blew himself up- cabbie prevented much worse toll.

-Three terrorists arrested- bomber dead.

-Ongoing still- may be others involved- residential area being evacuated now.

Surprised they didn't just do the usual and immediately rule out terrorism.....

I just love ur pic.

Yes, how did you guess they were of the Mooselimb faith.

Actually, Mooselimbs are not a religion at all and did I mention that Mohammad was a perverted guy.
