A man died Sunday after an explosion in the washroom of a Tim Hortons doughnut shop in downtown Toronto, police said.
They did not immediately confirm reports, by radio station AM-640, that a man had entered the washroom shortly before the blast with explosives strapped to his body.
The blast happened at the shop east of Yonge Street and north of Bloor, one of the busiest intersections in the city, at around 1 p.m. local time. Traffic was tied up in the area and Yonge Street was closed in both directions.
... From the Globe and Mail, a CP report.
If AM-640 is correct, then I'd say this is eerily similar to the failed Oklahoma University Stadium terrorist attack in which Joel Henry Hinrichs accidentally blew himself up prior to the carrying out of his plans.
Kate McMillan has also jumped upon this incident at Small Dead Animals.
Update:
From the CBC:
Later in the afternoon, a police robot was used to remove a parcel from the store.
Explosives experts then detonated the package.
Hours after this incident, another Tim Horton’s was evacuated as a precautionafter a suspicious package was spotted.
