@emptywheel What stood out during listening to the police scanner that night was the cops saying they were throwing bombs out of the SUV.

@ZeddRebel Conflicting reports abt hand-held bomb or vest. But plenty of IEDs thrown. Not clear whether any but one on Tam's person exploded -
@emptywheel I'm skeptical of the bomb vest reports, probably more like he had a few homemade grenades in his pockets. -
@ZeddRebel Me too, very skeptical. But not skeptical that they threw somewhere between 4-10 pipe bombs.
