It is still only a potential terrorism event. Says a police spokesman. So it’s being treated and responded to that way. They can’t do anything but that.

Well there is a thought Gas filled balloons or bottles + an ignition could have created an explosion. Regardless of supposed confessions on YouTube.
 
Fox News is saying the police are treating it as an act of terrorism.

19 dead.

Better to listen to the police acting there ‘potential terrorism act’ at this point.

Which is a huge point when one considers the Lindt Cafe incident in Aus. It was treated as a mental health incident. A lone wolf attack. Website radicalisation. , but if this is a large scale explosive incident, it would have to be , given the extent of the explosion, its a joint operation with some planning. And if it is a suicide bomber, he or she wont be the bomb maker or a planner, just a minion.

But that stadium is a soft target. I can see metal detectors and scanners in concert venues now.

I believe the bomb went off near the ticket office. The bomber did not get inside the arena or perhaps was only in the lobby.

How soon after the attack was this video released? How do we know this was the
real bomber? Why didn’t he show his face? Coward!

One thing is for sure, whoever created that video is someone I don’t want to be sharing a street with.

Does anyone here have any proof a bomb even went off at this event?

Please don’t start posting videos that proclaim these attacks to be fake and they are staged. We need to show respect for the victims of this bombing.
