“Our inquiries indicate that an improvised explosive device was manufactured, and our assumption so far is that it was built by the passenger in the taxi,” said Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson of Counter-Terrorism Policing Northwest. “We cannot at this time draw any connection with this but it is a line of inquiry which we are pursuing,” said Jackson.

The driver managed to escape from the vehicle but was injured and received medical treatment. He has since been released.
