Twisted carpenter's nails littered the street, leading police to conclude that they were part of an explosive device. A wrecked bicycle lay in front of the two most heavily damaged shops, prompting speculation that the bomb might have been on it. Police said in the hours after the blast that they had no suspects or motive.
