A disgruntled former hospital worker was killed when a bomb he was carrying in his car exploded in an eastern Nevada farming town, but a second bomb that went off at a nearby house caused no serious injuries, authorities said on Thursday.
The precise circumstances behind the two blasts at about 8 pm on Wednesday in the community of Panaca, about 160 miles (255 km) northeast of Las Vegas near the Utah border, were not immediately clear.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office issued a statement confirming one death and one "non-life-threatening injury" from the first blast, which according to dispatcher Toni Lytle resulted from the detonation of explosives in the car.
A second bomb damaged a house, but no one else was reported hurt, Lytle said.
The man killed by the bomb he was carrying in his car was described as a disgruntled former night nurse at the Grover C. Dils Medical Center in the nearby town of Caliente.
