A huge Christmas morning bomb believed to have been hidden in a motorhome wrecked a street in Nashville. The blast went off shortly after 6:40am EST on Friday, with the Tennessee city’s police department since saying they believe the explosion to have been ‘an intentional act.’
The explosion that appeared to be intentional shook a section of the US city of Nashville on Friday, said police, shattering windows and injuring three people.
