Four hurt by home-made rocket launcher (Guess where. HA! You're wrong!!!)

AN elderly man, his son-in-law and their wives are recovering in a French hospital after a home-made rocket-launcher the men were tinkering with exploded in the basement of a house, emergency services said. The man, aged in his 60s, lost a hand and his son-in-law, aged 40, suffered serious leg injuries in the explosion Sunday in a villa near Aubagne, east of the Mediterranean port city of Marseilles.

The two women were also suffering from shock.

The men appeared to have been working on a rocket in their basement, an investigator said.

An explosives team was brought in to neutralise other munitions at the house and the matter was referred to the Marseilles prosecutor's office, a justice official said.

"Even if it's not a case of major organised crime, we would rather make verifications very quickly," the official said.

Marseilles is loaded with Islamics.
And "a villa"? Sounds like these might have been Islamos with with
