On Saturday, Nashville Mayor John Cooper said that the blast was caused by a "deliberate bomb", which injured at least three people and damaged some 20 buildings in the area.

A new video of the Christmas morning blast in the US city of Nashville has emerged on the Internet.

The footage shows what looks like a police officer walking down the street against the background of a parked RV and a police car.

​Later the policeman is seen exiting the frame, which is followed by a powerful explosion, with thick black smoke and flying debris.

Before the vehicle exploded, a pre-recorded warning urged people in the area to evacuate.

The FBI is investigating the explosion, which could possibly have been a suicide bombing, CNN cited unnamed sources as saying.
