KMOX-AM 1120 reported on air — but not on the station’s web site — this hour that a loud boom rocked the downtown area of a the St. Louis suburb of Clayton this morning after an explosive detonated on parking level of a high-rise office building at 190 Carondelet Plaza. One man reportedly suffered burns as a result of the blast after he attempted to move some type of package from near a vehicle.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that all floors of the 16-story structure — three of which are devoted to parking — were evacuated soon after the blast and that agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI were called to the scene.
UPDATE 10/16/08 1:41 p.m. CDT: KSDK-TV, the NBC affiliate in St. Louis has the story and video.

AOW,
Nothing new, but I suspect — and it’s only a hunch — that it’s a personal matter based on news reports I’ve heard. Will post update(s) as this story develops.

The Saint Louis Metrolink running between Clayton and Forsyth was closed down for several hours after the blast. During this time a shuttle service kept commuters on the move between the two stations. It is also worth noting that the bomb went off close to a Law Office in the Residential building. It remains unsettling to me, as a Saint Louis resident, that I have yet to see anything on the news about this incident.

John — It was in the news several times as mentioned in this post. As for the law office angle, I brought that up in the last paragraph of a second post about a fire bomb at a Georgia law office.
