1 dead, 1 hurt in Las Vegas parking lot blast Explosion occurs in parking garage behind Luxor hotel-casino BREAKING NEWS The Associated Press Updated: 9:41 a.m. ET May 7, 2007
LAS VEGAS - A backpack exploded in a parking garage attached to a Las Vegas hotel early Monday, killing a man who had picked it up and injuring another person, authorities said.
The man had removed the backpack from atop his car when it exploded shortly after 4 a.m. on the second floor of a parking behind the Luxor hotel-casino, said Officer Bill Cassell, a police spokesman.
The second person was taken to an area hospital.
Aerial video showed no apparent damage to the parking structure, where entrances were blocked while police, firefighters and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents investigated. No further information was immediately available.
The Luxor is a pyramid-shaped hotel at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip.

Something funky was going on it town yesterday. Someone also set off a bomb/some type of explosion at a tattoo shop (not related to the luxor incident).
Yesterday, the news was saying that it was a box that was on his car. Hopefully the cameras were able to pick up a good picture of who did this. This whole thing is pretty scary when you think about it.
