The director of the Australian Christian Lobby, Lyle Shelton, tweeted some disturbing images a short while ago showing a decimated van that had just rammed his office and then exploded.

Shelton asked for prayers, while also reporting that “all staff are safe” after the explosion.

In a follow up tweet, Shelton referred to the van as a ‘car bomb’ while expressing his shock that this could happen in Australia, in an apparently reference to terrorism.

Shelton said he was not aware of the condition of the driver. The Sun reported that the van was “packed with gas cylinders” implying the explosion was intentional, not the result of an accident.
