Explosive News

It has been a bad day in Gaza for certainty, with not just one, but two, vague explosions.

Two vague explosions took place early on Friday in central Gaza city, one of them rocked a café killing a man and another explosion struck beside the house of Hamas parliamentarian, Palestinian security and medics said.

The Palestinian officials said that it is not immediately clear who was behind the explosions.

The first explosion took place just after midnight outside al-Jazeera cafe. The cafe has been hit twice in the past year by similar attacks, presumably perpetrated by radical groups who also target record shops and Christian institutions.

The officials said the explosion killed an unidentified man who was apparently passing by at the time. Three people were wounded.

The second bomb exploded outside the house of a Hamas lawmaker, Marwan Abu Rass, causing light damage but no casualties.

Hamas’ security forces deployed on Gaza crossroads and started search campaigns, looking for attackers.

And still on the subject of explosions, today’s news also involves one of the mysterious kind.

An Iranian military convoy attacked in a mysterious explosion last week was delivering a load of military equipment to the Hezbollah militant group at the time of the blast, western officials told the London Daily Telegraph in a report published on Friday.

Details of the explosion, which occurred near a Revolutionary Guards’ munitions warehouse in the Tehran suburb of Khavarshahar and left 15 people dead, were blacked out even in Iranian media.

Western officials told the Telegraph that the Revolutionary Guards had launched an investigation into the cause mystery blast, which apparently took place on July 19.

“This was a massive explosion that was heard throughout Tehran,” an official told the Telegraph. “Even though lots of people were killed, the Revolutionary Guards are trying to conceal what really happened.”

The Guards are investigating the possibility that the explosion was the result of sabotage, the officials said. There have been a number of unexplained explosions in Iran of late, including on at a mosque in Shiraz during a military exhibition, and another at a missile site.

  1. No mystery really. They’re just practicing their suicide bombing techniques. We should encourage much more practice.
