Minor Explosions In NYC

What brought this about? It gives me a really bad feeling that something much bigger is about to take place.

NEW YORK -- Two small makeshift grenades exploded outside the British Consulate early Thursday, Election Day in England, causing slight damage to the building but injuring no one, officials said. The blasts happened at 3:50 a.m.

The grenades had been placed inside a cement flower box outside the front door of the midtown Manhattan building that houses the consulate, police spokesman Noel Waters said.

After piecing together the shrapnel, police determined the devices were toy grenades that had been filled with gunpowder. Officers estimated that one was the size of a pineapple; the other the size of a lemon.

I hope your feeling that something bigger is gonna happen is wrong. We do need to keep our eyes peeled though.
