An explosion at a Revolutionary Guards' base that was apparently triggered when a munitions cache caught fire by accident killed and injured several servicemen on Tuesday, Iranian news agencies reported.

An Iranian official quoted by the Fars news agency said bodies were still being identified and the exact number of those killed would not be announced until Wednesday.

The official IRNA news agency said the training base belonged to Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards in Khoramabad, western Iran.

And Americans think they've got spin control down pat! HA!
Sounds to me like somebody was out for a little retaliation and got it.
After they're caught, if they're still alive and it wasn't a kamikaze, they'll probably be counted as part of the dead which are "to be determined later".

...the exact number of those killed would not be announced until Wednesday.
A simple head count, literally and figuratively, would show how many were killed.
Do they not have duty rosters at this "training facility"? Four hours max would show who did and didn't show up for muster.
Those people are paranoid control freaks who know everything that goes on. Pure spin!

I and my friends and family each maintain a personal munitions cache and none have ever caught fire?
Spontaneous combustion?
Odd.
