For those who may be interested, I and a few of my colleagues (engineers at a jet engine manufacturer in CT) have looked at the admittedly small pictures of the separated engine, and we believe that they suggest an internal failure, i.e. burst compressors disk(s). This type of failure could damage the engine pylon enough to cause the engine to fall off, and also rupture in-wing fuel tanks. It's a rare type of failure but it happens and it can bring down a plane. It would look and sound like an explosion. No bomb required. I'm not mentioning my company's name because I'm not making any kind of official statement, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
