“After a second, this guy stumbles out, glass in the back of his head, blood pouring down,” Crank said. “And a pickup truck comes out of nowhere — a black one — and he just gets in.”

The eatery’s owner is listed as Aiman Arabeiat, 45.

So far, the cause of the explosion has not been determined. But officials have ruled out a natural gas leak, a Duke Energy official said Monday. “We were cleared of gas being involved last night,” said Sally Thelen, a Duke Energy spokesperson.

Cincinnati Arson Investigators and federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spent the night at the scene and remained there Monday. Cincinnati’s chief fire inspector, Capt. Dan Rottmueller, said it was too soon to tell what may have sparked the explosion – or how long the probe could even take.

Great job telegraphing what’s coming shortly to a city near you.

Sounds like “Jewish Lightening” gone wrong to me.

Probably those pesky Amish terrorists.

It was the Mennonites. They drive black pick-ups.
