#1 No confirmation of this event. My guess is that the explosions related to the destruction of confiscated weapons caches. Like all British papers, left- and right-leaning, the Telegraph has a record of publishing unverified information. They are thus, less reliable than their American counterparts, which take considerable pains to avoid having to publish retractions. (British papers make so many mistakes they don't even bother with retractions, except when it's a real doozy). Publication without verification also means, however, that when British papers are right, they do manage to scoop their American counterparts.
