An immense explosion has been heard throughout the northern Iranian city of Qazvin, semi-official Fars news agency reported, and many casualties are expected from the blast.

Around 1.1 million people live in the city, which is located about 100 miles north of Tehran.

The blast may be related to nuclear development in Iran, according to the Los Angeles Times. Iranian officials in the past have strongly denied claims by Mujahedin Khalq Organization, or MKO, a cult-like Iranian exile group, that it has a secret nuclear enrichment facility in Abyek, near the major city, according to the daily.

The source of the blast remains undetermined. Several mystery explosions have been reported in the past several years in the region, none of which were ever verified.

A fire has now broken out in the city, local reports say, and as many as 50 people are injured. State media blames an oil depot for the blast.

This is what happens when you put the Mentos factory on the floor above the coke bottling operation.

..... Bloomberg reported that Iran was developing a secret nuclear site in Qazvin.

..... Roads leading to the site of the fire within a 2km radius have been closed off and people evacuated, according

Maybe just an exploding aspirin factory.......

The city of Quazin.... around 1.1 million people... was once an ancient capital of Persia. It is located about 100 miles northwest of Tehran.

The Mehr news agency said there were no immediate reports of casualties, but that the blaze was threatening to ignite an 18,000-liter oil storage tank.

It quoted a warehouse worker as saying the blaze was due to welding.

Interesting.

Iran building secret nuclear enrichment site - opposition group

Washington, Sep. 09 – Iran is secretly building a uranium enrichment site near Qazvin, 120 km west of Tehran, Iranian dissidents said on Thursday.

The Behjatabad-Abyek site, code-named '311', is 85 percent complete and can fit several thousand centrifuges, according to the main opposition group People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI). Iranian military personnel secretly began constructing the site, deep inside mountains between the cities of Abyek and Qazvin, in 2005.

Mecca and Medina are in Saudi Arabia, Qom is an important religious city in Iran. Look at a map.

Here is a google link which lists a number of stories about an Iran explosion at Qazvin.

Yes indeed, there is always more to a story we discover when we take a closer look see at surrounding areas.

This is why Slovanisk in Ukraine is being fought for so mightily...there's a huge arsenal of weaponry in the mines nearby.

I think they have it all wrong...

Instead of 72 virgins, Walter says he’d “...rather have 72 broads that know what the heck they’re doing!”
