Bomb blast at the Independence Museum in Valongo
Valongo - An explosion in the Independence Museum has left one person dead and 41 injured.
A bomb ripped through the War Room in the B Sector.
The small exhibition room was packed with tourists from the all Soria and abroad who took the force of the blast.
Many people suffered badly damaged and lost limbs and severe facial injuries.
At least two of the victims were children and are being treated in Valongo Hospital.
SoPolitan Bomb Squad Chief João Pedro Tomáz said: "It was an indiscriminate attack designed to create as much trouble and injury as possible."
Constable of the SoPolitan General JK Vieira has revealed that he received a message last Sunday that "the Museum is going up".
But a thorough search found nothing at the time and Master of Armouries Paulo Ferros claims that this afternoon's bomb would have been noticed by his staff if it had been there for any length of time. All that remains of the device is an timer, found near the cannon where detectives think the bomb was left.
They are particularly interested in the pictures of photo-journalist Jane Faro who thinks she may have a shot of a man she saw running away from the scene aged 30-33 of medium height with brown hair and wearing a brown jacket.
The dead woman has been named as Dorotéa Oliveira, 47, a librarian in São Luís de Ferraria who was visiting with a friend and two children.
