Eastgate Bomb

[GreGorGy]

I'm all for urban terror and blowing things up when your enemies are crackpots and nut jobs outside of reality and living in wore torn miseries but Eastgate? What did South Africa ever do?It's a real bomb!

Okay, I lied about being all for bombs but still - here, in Joburg? We don't see terror here.

I can't see the point in this. Unless they are symbolically terrorising capitalism? Scary thought if that's the case...

I think it's a knee-jerk reaction to excessive boney-M.

 

[SinghDude]

Maybe a fake.....

Shoppers at the mall tweeted that they also saw a man running on the roof while police went after him and a helicopter circled overhead.

Wha ! Twitter FTW !

SO whats his agenda ?

Muslamic rayguns ? COP17, G8... Juju ?

Maybe a fake.....

nope... it was confirmed as a REAL bomb !

thats some scary *****

i was hoping to check out the new sandton city mall extension but thinking twice now, this maniac could actually succeed next time

 

[Cloudster]

do we know the parties responsible here?

 

[VioAdmin]

#1 Question they must ask him, WHO is he working for. Himself? a group/gang, the police? ANC or is he one of the many US puppets hired to cause panic?

After they find this out, plant a wire(with video) on him and send him back to his allies and catch them all.

Problem solved.

'Device' deactivated at Eastgate

http://www.ewn.co.za/Story.aspx?Id=78230

Gauteng police said they have found a mysterious device inside a suitcase at Eastgate shopping centre a short while ago.
Police said the device was remotely blown up by the police's bomb disposal unit after the mall was evacuated and sealed off.
It is currently unclear what the device was and who had left it there.
Police are still investigating.
More to follow.

My guess is that is is a hoax and News24 is over reacting again.

opponents of capitalism resort to threats of violence? Never

Eastgate Mall could have ended up being eastgate mall and westgate mall and northgate mall and southgate mall.

Yes, the bomb squad neutralised it by blowing it up.
