A car bomb caused a powerful explosion on a Michigan street that seriously injured a father and his two sons, who are "very fortunate" to have survived the attack, which turned their vehicle into a blackened hunk of metal, a federal official said Wednesday.
But was it really a "car bomb?" That is, was it a vehicle stripped down to make room for explosives designed to destroy something else after the car delivers the explosive to the target?
Or was it a car that had a bomb placed in it to kill the passengers?
Big difference.
