A series of explosions at a munitions factory in the town of Jaar killed at least 80 people and left 50 wounded, according to police sources. The factory located south of the country was sacked on Sunday by suspected militants of Al Qaeda. Local residents said that more than a hundred men, women and children were taking bags of food from the factory when the first explosion was apparently triggered by the cigarette from one of the looters.
A government spokesman said the terrorist network planned to appeal to all civilians to a "death trap."
