There were no injuries or damage reported.

The bomb, while not sophisticated, was of a size and content large enough to have potentially caused many casualties.

No person or group has claimed responsibility for planting the bomb, and there is no word yet on any suspects.

The bomb was discovered after someone contacted a local newspaper and delivered an anonymous tip on its location.
