Update January 5th: Must-read post at Gates of Vienna. Lots of questions! AP reports a third person has died.
Update January 4th: There are a few more nuggets of information in the latest from the Star Tribune, here. Could be weeks before the cause of the blast is determined. Blogger Lee Stranahan has some answers and more questions.
Update: Second body found an hour or so ago, assumed to be Farah, here.
The story gets stranger and stranger!
Sheesh, I thought I was done with this topic this morning, but reader ‘pungentpeppers’ commented that there is another version of the Star Tribune explosion story that has this paragraph in it regarding the supposedly unaccounted-for man (in red):
“Family members identified the two people not accounted for as Mrimri Farah, said to be about 60 years old, and Ahmad Ali, 57, who shared an apartment. ………
Farah previously served in the U.S. Army and at one point was stationed in Iraq, said Shareef Hassan, a friend. Farah had gone to live in Somalia and came back to live in Minneapolis a couple of months ago.”
The version of the story I posted this morning (which did not have this paragraph) was from 6:51 p.m. yesterday and the version ‘pungentpeppers’ found was from 9:31 p.m. also last night.
Where is Farah?
