'Car bomb' in Berlin kills driver

GERMANY – Berlin police have launched a murder inquiry after a driver died when an “explosive device” went off in a car. The explosion occurred as the car was moving through the western district of Charlottenburg, heading towards the city centre. It flipped the vehicle up in the air, officials said. Police told residents in the area to close their windows and stay in the back of their apartments. But bomb disposal teams later said there was no risk of more explosions. The explosion happened “in or on” the front part of the Volkswagen Passat as it travelled along the Bismarckstrasse during the morning rush hour, a police spokesman said.(BBC)…[+]
