Blast in Gaza Building Kills Teen

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20040216/ap_on_re_mi_ea/palestinian_gaza_blast

A Palestinian teenager was killed in an explosion inside a Gaza City apartment Monday, witnesses and hospital officials said.

The blast in the 12-story building was apparently caused by either the premature detonation of a bomb or the accidental explosion of a cooking gas cylinder, residents and security officials said.

Louie Abu Hamdeh, 17, was killed; his mother and 9-year-old brother were seriously wounded.

There was no visible damage outside the building, ruling out an Israeli air strike, though Israeli warplanes had been circling for several hours.

1. Hard to tell

because terrorists in Gaza use gas cylinders as the base for their bombs.
