| Wife was 'lucky to survive' booby-traped car explosion... |
|
|
A "fiendishly clever" hand grenade device was allegedly used to blow up the car of an Army bomb disposal expert's wife.
It is believed to have been planted under the driver's front wheel arch of mum-of-two Victoria Fabian's family Mazda.
A cable connected the axle to the grenade, so the pin was pulled out when heavily-pregnant Victoria, 32, went to drive off with her son Charlie, eight.
Nurse Victoria suffered serious leg injuries in the blast last Friday. She is in hospital after skin grafts. Her unborn baby survived and Charlie escaped without serious injuries.
A police source said yesterday "It was apparently a fiendishly clever device and it is a miracle she wasn't killed."
Victoria's husband Nicholas, 32, who left the Army in 2003, has been charged with attempted murder in Vigo, Kent.
He was yesterday remanded in custody until March 22 by Dartford magistrates as a new mobile phone photo of the blast was released.
Fabian's mother said he was due to be sent to Afghanistan shortly as a reservist.
