Hearing a bomb went of in Barcelona. Nothing in Reuters yet
Waiting for confirmation.
bump....
Was an explosion, not terrorism.
Nothing moving on wires yet.

An epidemic of bad transformers these days.
BBC webnews reports a loud explosion rocks northern suburb of Beirut. More soon.

Explosion in Spain? Like we give a $hit. They can reap what they've sown.
There's always the old gas leak problem, too.
Hold on. I thought osama binUseless promised Spain he'd leave them alone if they withdrew from Iraq. Of course, there is no connection between Iraq and terrorism.
