"Fuel truck explodes by airport in Iraq; Conflicting reports of blast are given" by Hamed Ahmed, Associated Press | October 5, 2009
BAGHDAD - A fuel tanker exploded Sunday near a checkpoint outside of Baghdad International Airport, Iraqi officials said, along a route once known as the world's deadliest road because of frequent attacks there during the height of the insurgency.
There were conflicting reports about the cause of the explosion, which wounded at least five guards at the checkpoint.No fatalities were reported. A police official said a bomb attached to the tanker detonated at the checkpoint on the four-lane road leading to the airport. But airport spokesman Kareem al-Timini said the explosion was an accident that was caused when the driver started a fire to cook breakfast on the side of the road.
Do they really expect us to believe that one?
What's with the outrageous, bald-faced lies to the people, hey?
WTF, MSM?
You really don't care what your readers think, do you?
Just throw shit out on the slab and expect us to gobble it up, no questions.
You guys are nuts. No wonder you are tanking.
The explosion caused four other tankers to catch fire, Timini and the police official said.
The tanker caught fire at a checkpoint that also leads to Camp Victory, the US military headquarters next to the airport. Timini said the tanker was part of a fuel convoy on its way to the American base.
Sure SMELLS like a TERROR ATTACK!!
But Sergeant First Class Raymond Piper, a military spokesman, denied that the truck was part of a US convoy or that it was headed to Camp Victory. He said it was headed to the airport. The cause of the fire was under investigation....
I heard it was a breakfast stove.
