The UK police have asked the public to stop speculating on the cause of the massive explosion that ripped a whole house apart in the city of Leicester. This is due to online chatter stating that the place was a possible ‘bomb factory’ for terrorists. Given that the UK was been hit by several terrorist attacks last year, the authorities do understand the public’s concern.
(In defense of the online gossip crowd, we must point out that two days before the attacks in Barcelona in August last year, the ISIS terrorist cell present there also saw their ‘bomb factory’ in a neighboring town go up in flames and then decided to do a surprise attack before police would discover what they were up to. So far this one has the look and feel of a gas explosion, but we must ask understanding from both sides).
