A large car bomb exploded today in Northern Ireland, causing large-scale damage to a shopping centre.
The device, planted in a Vauxhall Corsa, detonated just after midnight outside a bank at the back of the Da Vinci retail complex near the University of Ulster in Londonderry.
A spokesman for the Police Service of Northern Ireland said: 'A warning had been received just an hour earlier and a cordon was in place.
'Initial inquiries suggest there were no injuries. Substantial damage was caused to the retail complex and to the car.'
Dozens of homes and businesses, including a nursing home, were evacuated.

Imagine warning someone before setting off a bomb?
The difference between Christians & Muslims...

The English and Irish have been so polite in most, but not all cases about "warnings" over the years when it came to bombings. That has always amazed me.
Have there been any cases of bombings that were committed by suicide bombers in the UK?
I don’t think any “white” Irish or English bomber ever blew himself up (at least deliberately); there have been some “impolite”, outright brutal bombings, as well as shootings, on both sides. On the whole, though, you do get the impression that the factions seem to fear eternal judgment for random killing; they are very “un-Muslim”.
