One person has been killed after a powerful explosion went off at a sports centre in the Belgian town of Chimay, partially destroying the building.
At least one person was killed and two were injured at the Plaine Chalon community centre, an emergency services spokesman told the Belga News Agency.
The cause of the blast was not immediately clear and it is not known if it is terrorism-related or whether it was a gas explosion.

Have they mentioned a name or motive yet? My fear now is that European authorities are going to refuse to name motive of name of the assailant and try to keep it quiet, so we can’t blame Islam.

Some FReeper posted a graphic about the steps Europeans take after an Islamic attack. There's flowers and prayers Then there's a Facebook page or icon showing solidarity Then there's Islam is a religion of peace, it's not to blame, we must show tolerance Don't forget about "men" standing around wearing women's clothing.

I’m pretty sure it was nothing more than an exploding waffle iron.

I doubt this is terrorism.
Not enough people killed, unless it was a time bomb that malfunctioned (blast set for AM instead of PM, or something like that).
Maybe they should call ClockBoy for technical advice.

Good points, Enchante.
That’s one thing which makes terrorists laugh. They WANT to be the boogie-man blamed for everything. Part of their strategy.
To: PghBaldy
Just so it does not harm the Trappist Chimay Brewery production of their excellent beer.
That would really piss off the Belgians as they are the highest per capita of beer consumption in the world!!!
To: Enchante
Bad timer. Bomber did not want to die.if the Belgians were smart they would be training bomb sniffing dogs to patrol on a regular basis

“NFL season begins in a few short weeks.”
I know a lot of people must be thinking about that, but nobody seems to want to talk about it.
My SIL proposed a family trip to an NFL game, but all I can think is, “Please Mr. Custer...”
