Styria state police said in a broadcast on Saturday that explosives detonated two vehicles in southern Styria on Friday evening, but no one was injured. An unidentified person planted the explosive device while the owner of the vehicle was at a prayer meeting organized by the Jehovah’s Witnesses faith group. Whether there is a connection is still being investigated.
