Already, some 13 people have been confirmed dead with a whole lot more (about 100 as at the last count) are injured and being treated for various degrees of injury. The five attackers operated from an Audi A3, wearing suicide bomb belts and were shot dead, police said. The bomb belts were detonated by the force’s bomb squad.
