Vehicles ablaze in Brussels 'do not appear to be related to terrorism': police
Updated yesterday at 9:15pm
Police say explosions which were heard in Brussels do not appear to be related to terrorism.
Local media and video shared from residents showed several cars ablaze in the Brussels business district of St Gilles.
British news agency reports said that two explosions were heard that may have been caused by the burning cars.
The fires have been doused and there are no reports of casualties.
Belgium has been on high alert for months after terrorists linked to November's Paris attacks were traced back to Brussels.

Spontaneous combustion?
ROFL!!! i love that ####ing movie.
Yeah, I wake up to burning cars several days a week.
It’s nothing, really.
Sex Frank?
Un, not now Ted. We’ve got work to do.
:)
The tweets say “dozen of cars”. Nothing to see here. I can’t count the times I’ve been walking downtown and a dozen cars just sort of seem to blow up all by themselves.
“Disaffected yutes”, obviously.
So how many vehicles have to blow up to qualify as terrorism? 20? 30?
Were they all ford pintos? That would explain it.

Probably shells left over from the Franco-Prussian War.
Yep, I know that Belgium was neutral in that war, but shells do drift.
Just your typical French automotive technology.
Spontaneous vehicular combustion or SVC is a phenomenon of unknown origin that seems to occur mainly in angry neighbourhoods.
Chevy Blazers!
We had an incident SVC here in the USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Times_Square_car_bombing_attempt On May 1, 2010, an attempted terrorist attack occurred in Times Square in Manhattan, New York. Two street vendors alerted New York City security personnel after they spotted smoke coming from a vehicle, and a car bomb was discovered.The bomb had been ignited, but failed to explode, and was disarmed before it caused any casualties. Two days later, federal agents arrested Faisal Shahzad, a 30-year-old Pakistan-born resident of Bridgeport, Connecticut, who had become a U.S. citizen in April 2009.
Well, do admit that it is common to see burned out cars on both the Brooklyn-Queens-Expressway and the Long-Island-Expressway, and it probably wasn’t related to terrorism.
Coming soon to Clooney’s beloved Italian town now that Muslim Shanty areas have invaded.
Oh yeah right....I buy that
