 explosion around midnight yesterday

 saw many of what he thought were homemade bombs on the road

Clearly. But a single tyre, is that really the best option available to the Thai bomb disposal squad? Maybe it is? In which case, poor sods!

I think it was a temporary solution until an EOD arrived on scene, but  then I could be wrong TIT
