BRUSSELS: Small explosives concealed in alarm clocks detonated at Ikea
furniture stores in Belgium, France and the Netherlands, Belgian authorities
said on Tuesday.
The explosions in stores in the Belgian city of Ghent, Lille in northern
France and Eindhoven in The Netherlands caused no damage or injuries.
"The information we have is that the explosions happened the same way in all
locations, with booby-trapped alarm clocks that had been hidden exploding,"
An Schoonjans, spokeswoman for Ghent prosecutors, told AFP.
In Ghent, an employee and a security agent complained of ear aches after two
small explosions, which detonated almost simultaneously before the store
closed Monday evening.
Two booby-trapped alarm clocks were detonated by remote control, Schoonjans
said.
The spokeswoman said the circumstances were similar in Eindhoven and Lille,
but she was unable to provide details.
"We are in contact with judicial authorities in Eindhoven and Lille to see
if there is a link between the three affairs," she said.
Belgian police were to inspect the country's six Ikea stores.
