Crossy Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Apparently a Londis convenience store blew up, more likely a gas leak than terrorism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that could be one explanation, but of course there are less innocent explanations possible. We'll just have to wait and see what the inquiry comes up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunroaming Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 An ex Londis. 4 dead. Unlikely to be a terrorist incident according to the police but won't know what caused it until they can investigate properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREM-R Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 BBC report " Witnesses said the shop was formerly a Londis but recently became a Polish supermarket." Maybe this reduces the possibility that the incident is 'terror' related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
