Explosion in Tabriz caused by waste ammunition disposal: IRGC
Tabriz, Feb 25, IRNA
Tabriz-Explosion
The explosion heard in Tabriz on Monday has been caused by disposal of waste ammunition.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said that the 31st combat division of Ashura, an affiliate to IRGC, had destroyed the waste ammunition on suburbs of Tabriz.
IRNA reporter in Tabriz said that the explosion was strong enough to cause public anxiety.
The IRGC said in a statement that the ammunition waste disposal had been arranged so far and no damage was caused for the operators.
Thats a first, Muslims wasting good explosives, maybe they take that “expiration date” thing pretty seriously?
Either way, I'm guessing this is the last we'll hear of this now.
“The windows of many buildings were shattered from the blast,” the agency said.

I don’t buy it.
Sheesh!
The mullahcrats can’t get their stories straight. First construction blasting, now this. What’s next? A visiting Russian broke wind too close to a gas stove?
