One of the news streams showed there were groups of people taking selfies in front of the carnage less than an hour after it happened.

The world is fucked.

Grain, and especially grain dust, has tremendous destructive potential if it ignites, especially when it's stored in a confined space. It is very dangerous.

Terror attacks kill 2 civilians in northwestern Syria

2 bombs explode simultaneously in Idlib and Afrin, injuring 16 others - Anadolu Agency

www.aa.com.tr

At least 10 civilians were killed and 500 injured, including children, in terror attacks in Beirut today, 150 miles away from Cyprus.

Two bombs exploded simultaneously in what appeared to be a fireworks depot but,according to a local security source who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media, this was a common know weapons depot used by Shia extremist to traffic bombs throughout the middle east.

The alleged suspect of this bomb is known to have ties to MDE and The Remants of the Islamic State in Syria. He known to authorities by his kunya name Samir Al-Hajeed Al-Kuwait.
Here is a quote from his Manifesto that he published online before the bombing.

" ..........ن تنكسر ، وتقتل ، ويغتصب أطفالك ويغسل دماغهم ، ويعتقدون أنه أمر مض "
"............do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny"

Tensions in this reigon of the world has been rising ever since the Government Sanctions Assassination of one of Iran's top generals committed by the United States.

Authorities are now fearing that he was not a lone wolf but apart of a larger terriorist cell in the reigon and that there maybe more attacks in the near future.

Here is a known picture of the alleged terrorist:

Isn't Sodium Nitrate fucking TOXIC TO BREATH IN?

This is gonna get worse.

 

[Smug Cat]

Yeah, no, that poor bastard's dead. The heat would have seared him on the outside and the shockwave would have scrambled everything inside him to hell and back if the shrapnel didn't tear him up

Yeah, Twitter thread is saying this video was captured from a livestream, not uploaded by the cameraman. He is almost certainly dead.

This is reddit you faggot. You don't need to tell us when you're joking.
