Are there more bodies of jihadis in the rubble?

AT firST the authorities thought the blast that reduced an entire house in the coastal town of Alcanar to rubble was an accidental gas explosion.

in fact it was almost certainly caused by the deadly but unstable TATP homemade explosives favoured by suicide bombers. One jihadi was killed in the blast and another injured and arrested. Police say there may still be a second body buried at the site.

Catalonia police tweeted on friday: ‘We are working to determine if remains at Alcanar are a second corpse.

‘We are working to determine if biological traces from Alcanar are human.’
