The UPI reported:

At least 13 people were hospitalized Wednesday when an explosion and fire engulfed a building in Minneapolis, officials said.

Minneapolis Fire Chief John Fruetel said six of the 13 people taken to area hospitals were in critical condition, KSTP-TV, St. Paul, reported.

No cause had been determined, but Greg Nelson, supervisor of the Minneapolis Emergency Communications Center, told the Star Tribune in Minneapolis the building likely would be a total loss.

KSTP said it was told the building was a community center that housed a grocery store and a mosque. WCCO-TV, Minneapolis, said the building had apartments. Fire and rescue crews were battling a three-alarm fire at West Bank Grocery and Pharmacy, near the University of Minnesota campus.

At least two media outlets said people climbed or jumped out of windows to escape the fire. Unconfirmed reports indicated second and third floors of the building had collapsed, KARE-TV, Minneapolis, reported.

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) called on state and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate the suspicious fire.

Who says it wasn’t a bomb that was went off by accident to have been placed to kill, maim, non-believing sons of monkey-and-pig Christian and Jews?

I suspect some bomb making going on in the mosque. I wonder how many other mosques are building arsenals for the grand jihad?

Yes the explosives in the basement must have gone off prematurely.

Mighty odd how the media just “loses interest” in such things?

"Didn’t the Black Panthers blow themselves up 30 or 40 years ago in Philadelphia?"

In March 6, 1970, during preparations for the bombing of a Non-Commissioned Officers’ (NCO) dance at the Fort Dix U.S. Army base and for Butler Library at Columbia University, there was an explosion in a Greenwich Village house when the nail bomb being constructed prematurely detonated for unknown reasons. Weather Underground members Diana Oughton, Ted Gold, and Terry Robbins died in the explosion. Cathy Wilkerson and Kathy Boudin escaped unharmed. The Weather Underground was led by Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jeff Jones, and Celia Sojourn.

We told them. If you don’t put pig carcasses in the refrigerator right away, they will explode. Butttt, noooo. Did you think they would listen to us?

I can just see Joe Flaherty and John Candy discussing this incident.

They could have been lighting their fatwas, or it could be premature jihadulation, . It could be the will of Allah, or they could blame it on the Bossa Nova!

These people use space heaters and seem to have difficulty with them.

Most people use electric space heaters. Such space heaters cause fires, not explosions. Unless you try to use them in your bomb making rooms. Then all bets are off, and you are subject to premature jihadification. In that case, no virgins for you.
