I have owned flashlights for many years , i have had batteries explode, but never has a battery in a flashlight exploding caused windows to shatter and injuring several people. This was a bomb, probably one of those do-it-yourself pipe bombs . I dont think this was a organized terrorist attack but it was some kind of attack. Dry run for something maybe.

Last report says there was a battery explosion, flashlight set off explosive detection decive due to corroded batteries and a battery exploded while being screened and the passenger being questioned. Only minor injuries, they now report.
