Here's how they celebrated New Years Day in Mogadishu, Somalia
... and here's a few things to consider:
- The explosion was in a building with 10 apartments reportedly occupied principally by single Somali men on the second floor, and a community grocery store on the first floor. Next door was the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque and cultural center.
- The utility company appears to have ruled out a gas leak. The building was just inspected in 2012 and had no reported problems.
- A witness in the building describing the explosion talks of an initial electrical shock feeling in the building, then a subsequent explosion that blew the windows out on the second floor. Investigators have yet to get fully into the building to determine the cause.
- The firemen noted how this explosion/fire was unlike anything they had ever seen, that it included a man who apparently went out the window who had no legs, which if he wasnt already in that condition, suggests that his legs were blown off.
- The Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque next door appears to promote shariah law, and links on its website to the Muslim Brotherhood website, as well as to INSA and CAIR. It caters to a Somali immigrant Muslim community.
- There is no link established between the explosion and the mosque at this time.
- The Somali community in Minnesota has lost several young men to jihad in Somalia.
- Today, there was a bombing, killing 10, at the popular Jazeera Hotel in Mogadishu (see photo and article above). Al-Shabaab took credit, saying they had warned Somalis against New Years celebrations or consorting with infidels.
Amazing coincidences?

That area is what I call little somolia. It has two of the largest (and ugliest) public housing buildings in it. Minnesota imported this problem.

One of the dangers of home schooling jihadis, I guess.

Possibly some of the residents were in the bomb-building mode, and had a little mishap? It will be interesting to see how this plays out, and as to what is actually reported through the MSM.

I would suspect the Minneapolis incident was probably caused by somebody improperly using a kerosene heater, no doubt with another large container of kerosene “stored” nearby, or possibly by somebody cleaning something with gasoline, commonly used in the Third World for laundry and cleaning purposes.
We had a big explosion not far away from me which everybody first thought was a meth lab blowing up, but it turned out that the young man who lived there and was blown up in the explosion was actually just cleaning auto parts with gasoline and the fumes ignited. He was probably stoned at the time, which didn’t help, of course, but it was simply one of those things that happens when you get gasoline fumes into a small space and something sets them off.
So my first choice would simply be Third World cleaning or heating procedures...but on the other hand, you could be right and it could be that they were dumb enough think they could make a bomb and ship it to Somalia or use it here in the US to take out some rival Somali group.

Down town minneapolis is walking distance from this area. The mall of america is a quick light rail ride... if they where planing some sort of attack this would be a good area to launch it from. Lots of friendlies around to keep an eye out for cops while building your bomb.

The fire was so hot that it’s STILL too hot to enter the building. And this was supposedly just apartments with a small grocery on the bottom floor. Everyone still isn’t accounted for which means a few people could have been blown up when the assembly process was botched.

The ones still missing are the ones that where closest to the bomb.
You have found your guilty parties.
