A large explosion this morning in the Tarwekamp area of The Hague, capital of the Netherlands, caused a building to partially collapse, and sent multiple victims to hospital. As of this writing, the bodies of four victims have been recovered. Dozens more have been injured.

Dutch police said that a car was seen speeding away from the explosion site, but have rejected reports that the explosion was terror-related as "speculation". Hey, it could have been a construction accident, careless people working overtime early on a weekend morning.

The politie have called for witnesses to come forward, specifically regarding the car seen driving away "at very high speed at 6:15 AM." They are especially interested in silencing hearing from anyone who heard shouts of "Allahu akbar!"
