#1 Concerning the cause of the explosion incident, the DPRK has explained that a train carrying fertilizer containing ammonium nitrate and a railroad tank carrying petroleum were being shunted, and, in the process, came into contact with electrical wires, due to carelessness.

Typical railway marshaling yards are conspicuously free of overhead high tension wires in order to avoid exactly this sort of scenario. Methinks we have a cover story.

The presence of Syrian technicians and any influx of aid from their country is just one more good reason to put that terrorist anthill under the magnifying glass.

#2 Syrian and North Korean technical expertise working together.
Is that a formula for success, or what?

#3 When I saw this explosion I thought about the simular explosion at the Iran Afghan border.

#4 Great post, Anon2U!
If this is true, it's semi-HUGE!
(Weapons material going from the NorKs to Syria for their WMD program...)
