It was a bomb but so far no link to international terrorism but the investigation is taking place and more will be known later.

Interesting developements. I will be extra careful as i start my summer session at college this week!! Good thing she is ok...any word on other injuries?

:o This is very scary. Hopefully not terroristic in nature, especially since the Bush daughter went there.

Late reports indicate it may have been a low-yield pipe bomb, but it was detonated in classroom # 120, where students took finals earlier; the building was nearly empty, except for some cafeteria workers and children in a day care center.

Damage included a door blown off its hinges, breaking glass and some supports under the floor; a nearby parked car was towed by police an hour afterwards as part of the investigation.

If it was a pipe bomb, I'd speculate that it was a disgruntled student or employee.

There are no injuries reported with this bomb blast. Im glad no one was hurt or killed. Hopefully, they will find out who did this very quickly and apprehend the individual (s).
