(CNN) -- An explosion at a subway station in Santiago, Chile, injured eight people Monday.

 

The explosion happened around 2 p.m. at the Escuela Militar station in the upper- class neighborhood of Las Condes, said Mario Rozas, spokesman for the Chilean National Police.

 

Most of the injured were in a restaurant at the metro station.

The victims suffered "sound trauma, three had cuts, one had an exposed fracture and another one had a traumatic amputation of fingers." The victims were from 30 to 65 years old.

 

CNN Chile reported the explosive device was inside a trash bin in an open area at the metro station.

Subway service has continued operating, but trains are not stopping at the station while police and emergency services work.

The station where the explosion occurred is used daily by about 150,000 commuters.

 

Álvaro Elizalde, a top government spokesman, called the bombing "an act of terrorism" and said the government will invoke the antiterrorism law.

Its especially bad this year because of the recent beheadings carried out by ISIS forces which prompted the US to carry out airstrikes in Iraq and now Syria. Intelligence agencies fears that militants are active even in the US. So the alert level with the NYPD and the US military for that matter on 9/11 will be high in NYC this year because of the current events taking place in Iraq.
