I guess you didn't read the story. Most likely the Mormon Mafia.

I'm trying to figure out where they placed the "bomb" to only cause that kind of damage? And it doesn't look like it burned either?

I was looking at the photos more closely. I think the "bomb" was on the top of the motor, right near the front valve cover (you can see a hole in the valve cover), and the oil fill spout. That would explain the dimensions of the damage to the hood, rad and support and passenger side body. The battery probably exploded as well, which is why the driver fender is all fubar'd.
