Update from An Nahar at 4:55 p.m. ET:

The toll from accidental explosions that rocked a military camp in Equatorial Guinea and the surrounding area rose sharply on Monday to 98 dead and 615 wounded, the vice president said.

The blasts on Sunday, involving ammunition stocks and explosives at the camp in the country's economic hub Bata, devastated buildings at the compound and countless houses in surrounding residential areas.

"At the moment, we deplore 98 dead and 615 injured," Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue wrote on his Twitter account.

Based in this information, I’m moving this to Page 3: Non-WoT. And very happy not to have a new front in the War in Terror to challenge our beloved president’s limited faculties.

#4 93% of the population is Christian, with only 2% Muslim, though there are influxes from jihadi trouble spots Cameroon and Nigeria. I suspect it will eventually be discovered to be the either an accident resulting from poor storage practices or chemistry/engineering students tired of a tyranny that dates back to 1979.
