Thread: Van drove into Australian Christian Lobby's Canberra headquarters and 'exploded'

A van reportedly carrying gas cylinders has exploded after being driven into the Australian Christian Lobby headquarters in Canberra on Wednesday night, setting the building alight.

There were no injuries suffered from people inside the building but the driver is being treated for his injuries in hospital.



ACT Policing said the van was carrying gas cylinders which were exploded at approximately 10.45pm. The vehicle was destroyed and the two-storey office building, named Eternity House, was badly damaged by fire.

The police later said in a statement they had established the actions of the 35-year-old male driver "were not politically, religiously or ideologically motivated".
