Fatah official: Deadly Beirut blast was an accident

[Ma'an] Fatah Central Committee member Sultan Abul Enein said on Tuesday that the blast in Beirut on Saturday that caused the deaths of two Hamas members was an accident.

He said in an interview with Voice of Palestine radio that the explosion resulted from a "misuse of arms," and had no security or political significance.
Smoking while unloading the dynamite boxes, was it? Tusk tusk.
He did not say on what basis he made these assertions. Abul Enein served as one of Fatah's senior leaders in Lebanon for years before moving to the West Bank in August.

The two Hamas members were buried on Tuesday. Hamas has not publicly accused anyone of carrying out the apparent bombing.

Speaking at the funeral on Monday, Hamas' top leader in Lebanon, Osama Hamdan declined to speculate on who was responsible. Also on Monday Lebanon's official National News Agency reported that the blast had been caused by 15 kilograms of TNT.

#2 Safety rules say to enforce radio silence when handling explosives with electrical detonators. Maybe somebody is driving around Beirut transmitting volumes of radio 'noise' and every now and then happen to do so as they pass a bomb factory. This would be strictly an unwitting malfunction of their CB, certainly.

#4 This supports my guess that Hezb wired the car and it went off before it was supposed to killing some Hezb workers and some Hamas guards. Hamas is afraid to blame Hezb and Hezb is afraid to admit their guys messed up.
