Last Resort Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 LAS VEGAS An explosion in a Las Vegas parking garage has killed one man and injured one other person. Police say the man was removing a backpack from atop his car, when it blew up. The early morning incident took place on the second floor of a garage attached to the Luxor hotel and casino. The second person was taken to an area hospital, but there's no word on the extent of injuries. Aerial video shows no apparent damage to the parking structure, but entrances have been blocked while police, firefighters and federal agents investigate. The Luxor is a pyramid-shaped hotel at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Resort Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 towlheads????? LAS VEGAS (AP) - Investigators in Las Vegas are looking at hotel surveillance videotapes for clues in the death of a man in a parking garage outside the Luxor hotel-casino. They say the man worked at a business inside the hotel, but was not an employee of the Luxor. He was killed when a small device exploded as he removed it from the top of his car early this morning. Police are describing it as a murder with an unusual murder weapon. They believe the man who died was the target of the attack, and they're not treating it as a terrorist act. They're also dismissing suggestions that the slaying is linked to organized crime. Another person who was nearby escaped injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Resort Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 on top of his car??? thats weird Not really, you want to get the guy so you leave the bomb where he will likely be the one to pick it up. It likely had a pressure trigger that was set when the bag was placed on top of the car and then released when it was lifted by the mark.
