More signs and portents? Or doesn't Mahmoud believe in no-smoking signs?
A series of explosions Sunday destroyed a two-story ammunition dump in south Lebanon that belonged to Hizbullah, according to Lebanese security officials. They said the explosions were set off by a short circuit caused by lightning during a strong storm shortly before dawn Sunday. There were no reports of casualties. The ammunition dump was located in the basement of a building between the villages of Majadel and Shehabiyeh, some 20 km. from the border with Israel. The Lebanese Broadcasting Corp. said the dump contained mortar shells and rocket-propelled grenades.

We're all hoping the carnage was devastating...

#2 I wonder if it was lightening from the "Thunder Snow" mentioned in Rantburg yesterday? I have a hunch though that it was a blast from the Zionist Death Ray.

#3 The only thing that keeps me from thinking that the (insert your favorite organization/agency here)strikes again is the old dictum "never blame on enemy action that which can be expained by your own incompetence".

But it would be fun to see the Isrealys take credit antway, as they are going to get blamed anyway.

#7 Two story ammunition dump....oh, the imagery! They probably put up a lightening rod, but forgot to install a ground grid and wires from the rod to ground. All the top level electricians are parted out and they are down to mid-level management and custodians.
