Another controlled explosion near Glasgow hospital

CNN:

A bomb disposal unit has performed at least two controlled explosions on a suspicious device at a hospital where one of the suspects in Saturday's Glasgow airport attack is being treated.

A CNN crew stationed at the the Royal Alexandra Hospital in the Paisley area of the Scottish city heard two blasts, which occurred about an hour after a bomb disposal truck was spotted outside the medical facility.

It is not clear what prompted the alert. A road around the hospital has been blocked and some staff members have been evacuated.

The hospital is treating one of the bomb suspects. He is in critical condition with severe burns.

Sources say one of the two suspects behind the Glasgow attack works as a doctor at Royal Alexandra, although it is not clear which one.

On Sunday -- for reasons that remain unclear -- police conducted a controlled explosion of a vehicle in the hospital's parking lot. Police said there was no indication the vehicle contained any explosives.

Unclear? No kidding. They had no indication the vehicle contained any explosives and they used a control explosion on it anyway? There is something missing in the rationale for the action and there is no reason given for the second explosion today which is described as a "suspicious device."

The latter does sound more like a potential IED than a VBIED like those found in London. It appears the CNN crew is getting a little more excitement than it anticipated waiting for a medical report on the Jeep bomber.
