00:00Our inquiries indicate that an improvised explosive device has been manufactured
00:04and our assumption so far is that it was built by the passenger in the taxi.
00:11The reason why he then took it to the women's hospital is unknown
00:14as is the reason for its sudden explosion.
00:19We are of course aware that there were remembrance events just a short distance away from the hospital
00:25and that the ignition occurred shortly before 11am.
00:28We cannot at this time draw any connection with this
00:32but it is a line of inquiry which we are pursuing.
00:36Although the motivation for this incident is yet to be understood
00:40given all the circumstances it has been declared a terrorist incident
00:44and counter-terrorism policing are continuing with the investigation.
