The UPI reported:

At least 13 people were hospitalized Wednesday when an explosion and fire engulfed a building in Minneapolis, officials said.

Minneapolis Fire Chief John Fruetel said six of the 13 people taken to area hospitals were in critical condition, KSTP-TV, St. Paul, reported.

No cause had been determined, but Greg Nelson, supervisor of the Minneapolis Emergency Communications Center, told the Star Tribune in Minneapolis the building likely would be a total loss.

KSTP said it was told the building was a community center that housed a grocery store and a mosque. WCCO-TV, Minneapolis, said the building had apartments. Fire and rescue crews were battling a three-alarm fire at West Bank Grocery and Pharmacy, near the University of Minnesota campus.

At least two media outlets said people climbed or jumped out of windows to escape the fire. Unconfirmed reports indicated second and third floors of the building had collapsed, KARE-TV, Minneapolis, reported.

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) called on state and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate the suspicious fire.

Amateur hour in the bomb factory?

Somebody sold them a defective timer?

Didn’t the Black Panthers blow themselves up 30 or 40 years ago in Philadelphia?

Yes-they know it’s coming and they want to be able to claim they knew nothing about it and that it was a setup by rednecks trying to frame them.

Gasoline in a kerosene heater? Used to happen all the time to foreigners in Japan when I lived there.

No...it was the cops.

Move

"MOVE or the MOVE Organization is a Philadelphia-based black liberation group founded by John Africa. MOVE was described by CNN as "a loose-knit, mostly black group whose members all adopted the surname Africa, advocated a 'back-to-nature' lifestyle and preached against technology".[1] In addition, MOVE members were vegans and passionate supporters of animal rights. The group lived communally and frequently engaged in public demonstrations related to issues they deemed important."

"In 1985 the group made national news when police dropped a bomb on the Osage house from a helicopter in an attempt to end an armed impasse. The explosion and ensuing fire killed 11 people, including five children and the group's leader, John Africa. Only two occupants survived—Ramona, an adult and Birdie, a child. In addition, approximately 60 other (non MOVE-affiliated) homes were destroyed as the entire block burned."
