Car bomb in Arkansas?

UPDATE:

The chairman of the Arkansas State Medical Board was critically injured Wednesday when his car exploded as the family physician was leaving his home for work, the board attorney said.

Board attorney William Trice said he believed Pierce drives a hybrid, but Trice had no information on what caused the explosion. He said he knew of no heated disputes the chairman was a party to and said that even in board decisions, the chairman does not often vote.

"This is just off the wall," Trice said. "It's just such bizarre circumstances."

An asthma specialist, apparently - no immediately obvious political motive. Perhaps a private motive, or just freak hydrogen buildup in his Lexus' battery.

CNN is reporting it as a bomb and of course the mass media never makes msitakes.

Initial indications were that foul play was not involved, Paudert said, as authorities were unable to discover any threats against Pierce.

However, agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found evidence of an explosive device, he said.

Not that hybrids are Inherently Dangerous, oh no.
