Austin authorities say they are responding to another report of an explosion Tuesday night in Texas that has left at least one person injured, according to Austin-Travis County EMS (ATCEMS). The Austin area has been hit by a string of bombings since March 2 that has killed two people and wounded four others seriously.

8. terrible

What is it now??

Six bombs exploded.

One didnt.

Seven in all???

It seems the person who is doing this, is using different types of explosives so the authorities cant
track him/her down.

Theres been no notes left?

No motivation?

9. With traffic and security cameras everywhere now it seems like this should be harder. nt

10. Another victim? Maybe the bomber himself?

Sometimes their luck runs out and they blow themselves up. Bombers usually do not have long careers. One can only hope .......

11. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a disgruntled Fed-Ex employee.

My first thought was a white extremist group like Atomwaffen.

18. Yeah, how do they know? The bomber could be changing things up just to mess with them.

17. Incendiary device

Incendiary weapons, incendiary devices or incendiary bombs are weapons designed to start fires or destroy sensitive equipment using fire (and sometimes used as anti-personnel weaponry), that use materials such as napalm, thermite, magnesium powder, chlorine trifluoride, or white phosphorus.
