Chile: Explosive device placed at BBVA bank in Santiago

from the press, via lt, translated by war on society:

A bag abandoned outside of a BBVA Bank branch at the intersection of Vicencio and Apoquindo across from the Metro Los Dominicos station in the Las Condes neighborhood, created alarm.

Around 11 PM of Thursday the 16th, Carabineros came to the place and cordoned off the area. Inside of the bag there were two fire extinguishers with cables and a timer.

GOPE bastards with their teletubbies outfits approached the doors of the bank and put a compressed air piston over the bag, an apparatus that gives a strong blow to the device to try to make a controlled detonation. Because of the force of the air, one of the windows was destroyed.

Finally, the police said nothing of the device, what it was made of nor its destructive capacity, although some media the next day said that it was a simulated bomb.

The Regional Prosecutor, Raúl Guzmán, came to the area; he carries out the investigations of bomb attacks. He said to the press that this kind of action always occurs before the court hearings for persons charged for placing bombs, such as was the following day when the Supreme Court would decide if Tortuga would return to prison or not.
