| Mysterious blast rocks army airbase in Hama |

The reason behind the blast is still unknown, but early reports say that ammunition storage might have exploded due to a man-made error or the sudden rise of temperature. Other unconfirmed reports spoke of a missile attack that hit an armory inside the airbase. |

| #4 Via syria.liveuamap.com... Local Syrian tweeted: The massive explosions which occurred earlier today in Hama AB happened due to a technical failure while welding a local-made free fall aerial bomb. 3 ammo depots completely vanished, heavy losses in equipment. No dead, because the first explosion forced everyone to shelters. Red Wire, Green Wire...?? |

| #2 Consider: (1) Assad Regime negotiates with Rebels; (2) Rebels are to leave all military material behind; (3) SAA occupies area; and (4) multiple explosions erupt. Sounds like timers on demolition charges to me. |
