BLAST HORROR Frantic search for survivors after huge explosion at block of flats in The Hague as cops hunt ‘car seen speeding away’
The Sun ^ | 12/07/24 | James Halpin

ONE person has died after a huge explosion ripped through a block of flats in the Netherlands with cops now hunting for a car.

Rescuers are searching for survivors in the three-storey building in The Hague after the blast at around 6.15am this morning.

Police are searching for a motor that drove away "at very high speed" shortly after the blast and have appealed for witnesses.

Residents at the block in the city's Mariahoeve neighbourhood were asleep at the time of the explosion.

Emergency services were called after a huge bang and loud screams were heard.

Several apartments were completely destroyed in the explosion while others around it collapsed.

Balconies could be seen lying on the ground while walls had toppled over.

A blaze broke out following the explosion with firefighters putting it out.

Rescuers are now looking for up to 20 people thought to have been in the block at the time of the blast.

Four have been pulled from the rubble so far with a line of ambulances parked near the building ready to take people to hospital.

jack smith worked at the Hague,,

he was hip deep in the Serbia\kosovo conflict and made enemies

/During his time as the chief prosecutor, he brought charges against several individuals, including Salih Mustafa and the sitting President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaçi. He took up the post on September 11, 2018, and was appointed to a second term on May 8, 2022, before stepping down on November 18, 2022./ maybe connected ?

jack seems to revel in screwing people over so...

"Was the perp a Muslim or was it a Muslim?..."

That would be an interesting bit of irony given the indictment of Bibi by the ICC.

The political class around the world appears to know that the people are far too comfortable to engage in revolt. So, the political class does as it pleases.

that's what they'd like you to think.

But what better tactic to keep people from being aware of an organize pogrom than to make it appear that these are *random acts of violence*.

I am sure this was something like a gas leak.

But in the back of my head I am wondering if this was a secret agent/deep state assimilation and attack.

I read too much Clancy.

The ICC has just learned that judgement can come from without.

“gas leak”

“car seen speeding away”

More is involved than bad piping.

It is a hate crime for anyone to even consider the possibility this was a Muslim attack.

I am going to guess that it wasn't this sappy, meaningless bumper sticker.
