An explosion has been reported at the Vatican. There is a video of the scene at the link. This must have just happened as Twitter is the only place I'm finding this so far.

Well, I think we can at least be sure that it was not another MOAB (which the Pope didn’t like). (At least not one from OUR side.)

Looks like a car bomb. Yes, climate change is more dangerous than Islam.

Looks like a main gas line break.

It’s still being fed a lot of combustable fuel.

One photo shows a big fireball as it continues to burn...

**Update***...Fire in Rome is burning in a car yard. It’s a couple of kilometers from the Vatican.
