An explosion levelled a building in the city of Leicester in central England, Sunday, in what local authorities have called a major incident.
Leicester police say that a massive explosion destroyed a building on Hinckley Road which reportedly housed a Polish shop called the Western Park Store, as well as a private home.

What was the city that Churchill let Hitler bomb so that the secret that Germanys Enigma code had been cracked was kept safe?
If it Leicester was the place, could be an old bomb that finally cooked off.

“””Polish sausages have been known to explode.”””
But only AFTER you eat them.

The people of Leicester on Twitter are insulted that just because theirs is a diverse city, people suspect terror.
No one seems to know for sure yet what the cause is.
