Shoppers cut down in hail of nails and broken glass

Article Abstract:

A nail bomb exploded in a busy street market in Brixton, London, England, in the early evening of Apr 17, 1999. Flying debris, mainly nails and broken glass, caused extensive injuries, and 14 victims remain in hospital. Of these, four are in a serious condition. Police believe that the bomb was intended to cause injuries to people rather than to damage property. Among the victims was a 23-month-old boy, who has had surgery to remove a nail that penetrated 2 cm into his brain.
