A dead in an explosion considered « terrorist » in front of a clinic in California – Liberation
An unusual attack. It occurred on Saturday in Palm Springs, east of Los Angeles, shortly before 11 am local (8 pm in Paris), the city wrote in a press release published on Facebook. A photo published by the clinic shows its very damaged facade, the front door, the windows of several broken windows and the tiles of the blown roofs.
“This is an intentional terrorist act. The advance of the survey will make it possible to determine whether it is international terrorism or inner terrorism ”told the press Akil Davis, head of the local FBI office in Los Angeles. He added « think » that the establishment had been deliberately targeted, in a country where PMA is a subject that divides. The mayor of the city, Ron Deharte, spoke of a bomb « In or near a vehicle parked in the parking lot of the building ».
The explosion left a dead man whose identity is not known at this stage, said the Palm Springs police. Damage, beyond the center for PMA, « Extend to several streets, with several damaged buildings, some heavily »noted the police, according to which the incident seems « isolated ».
« This morning, an unexpected and tragic event took place in front of our Palm Springs premises when a vehicle exploded in a parking lot near our building »said on Facebook the clinic, which closed. « We have a broken heart to learn that this event has removed a life and caused wounds »indicates the text, specifying that the laboratory which stores gametes and embryos had not been affected. The municipality asked the inhabitants to stay away from the area.
PMA is a contention between conservatives in the United States. Many Republicans, for whom traditional family values must be defended, see it as a way to increase the number of children in American families. But others have a stricter position, believing that life begins from the design. They are therefore firmly opposed to PMA because, in this procedure, several embryos are often produced and not all are necessarily used.
Donald Trump’s government seems favorable to this technique. « Violence against a fertility clinic is unforgivable »also reacted the Minister of Justice of the Republican President on Saturday, Pam Bondi. « We are working to find out more, but allow me to be clear : Trump administration understands that women and mothers are the beating heart of America ”she wrote on X.
« Like the overwhelming majority of Americans, including the vast majority of Republicans (…), I strongly support access to in vitro fertilizations for couples who try to have a precious baby »had written Donald Trump on his social truth last year during the presidential campaign.
