A few seconds later, the driver comes running out of the cabin.

According to the local press, by "forcing the suicide bomber to explode" in his car, the driver carried out an "act of bravery" which allowed "to save many lives".
For the police, he is the survivor of a "terrorist act" for which the investigation has only just begun.
The scene took place on Sunday November 14 at around 11 a.m.
