Possible explosion at Eindhoven home: Resident extremely fearful of "targeted" attack

NL Times  

A possible explosion at a block of flats in Eindhoven has left residents shaken and concerned for their safety. Police told NL Times the apparent blast during the early morning hours on Saturday could have been caused by a heavy explosive, like a hand grenade or a Cobra-6 firework, but an initial investigation was inconclusive. Whatever took place created a force strong enough to completely shatter the front door window of a three-flat building, said a resident who wished to remain anonymous. "I'm scared shitless and police said they can't do anything," said the victim to NL Times. The maintenance crew replaced the glass and fixed the front door, but for the fearful resident, the repair work alone cannot heal the emotional damage.
