Police are investigating four small explosions in Christchurch city today, including one that injured a cleaner at the Christchurch Bus Exchange.
The explosion forced the evacuation of hundreds of people from the exchange about 3.15pm, causing commuter chaos in the city.
The incidents involved small bottles exploding at the Bus Exchange, The CD Store on the corner of Colombo and Cashel streets, the Shell Service Station at Carlton Mill corner, with the fourth near a Westpac bank at The Palms Shopping Mall.
"All items were in plastic drink bottles and the one at the Bus Exchange was left in a bag on a seat," Mr Reid said.

While we can be thankful that it was only an injury that was sustained, this does beg the question - what if it had been a more powerful explosive? Could people have died? Is this an attempt at terrorism?
What do you guys think?
