Hmm, let's have a look at 17 definitions of 'fresh' (from answers.com):
Quote:
  1. New to one's experience; not encountered before.
  2. Novel; different: a fresh slant on the problem. See synonyms at new.
  3. Recently made, produced, or harvested; not stale or spoiled: fresh bread.
  4. Not preserved, as by canning, smoking, or freezing: fresh vegetables.
  5. Not saline or salty: fresh water.
  6. Not yet used or soiled; clean: a fresh sheet of paper.
  7. Free from impurity or pollution; pure: fresh air.
  8. Additional; new: fresh evidence.
  9. Bright and clear; not dull or faded: a fresh memory.
  10. Having the glowing, unspoiled appearance of youth: a fresh complexion.
  11. Untried; inexperienced: fresh recruits.
  12. Having just arrived; straight: fashions fresh from Paris.
  13. Revived or reinvigorated; refreshed: I was fresh as a daisy after the nap.
  14. Fairly strong; brisk: a fresh wind.
  15. Informal. Bold and saucy; impudent.
  16. Having recently calved and therefore with milk. Used of a cow.
  17. Slang. Excellent; first-rate.
I'd say that it's about the worst synonym for 'new' one might choose for describing a bombing and it's completely not a synonym for 'more'.
