Terror in Nashville?
Authorities say a sports utility vehicle exploded and killed a man in a parking lot at Nashville’s largest hotel.
ATF agents say the explosion in the Range Rover happened just before midnight in a lot about a half-mile from the main entrance of Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center.
ATF agent Jim Cavanaugh said the cause of the blast hasn’t been determined. But he says investigators suspect it was a homemade bomb.
Investigators from the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI are also at the scene of the popular resort.
Police said the powerful explosion was felt miles away. It left nothing but a shell of the SUV that was found about 200 feet from a day care center.
It will be curious to see how this pans out.

Sounds like a mob hit to me. But then I watch too much Sopranos.

Berger must have hidden secret papers in the tailpipe which didnt allow enough air to escape the engine which resulted in a build up of heat in the engine which caused a leaky gas line to explode.
yeap, that sums it up.

Seems it was a Brentwood guy from a pretty affluent neighborhood, with a pretty Anglo-Saxon name. Not your typical terrorist suicide bomber…
Plus it was far away from the mall, and in the middle of the night.

Or motorcycle gang, or independent criminals of a similar mindset. Even jealous spice have been known to use such a method.
