http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/j ... ?CMP=fb_guThe Palestinian ambassador to the Czech Republic has been killed in a blast at his home thought to have been caused when he opened a safe containing explosives.
Czech police said there was no evidence that Jamal al-Jamal had been attacked. But the Czech authorities are bound to demand to know why explosives were being stored at the Palestinian diplomatic mission in Prague.
According to Riad al-Maliki, the Palestinian foreign minister, the safe had not been opened in at least 30 years. It was recently moved from an old embassy building.
"The ambassador decided to open it. After he opened it, apparently something happened inside and [the safe] went off," Maliki said.
The Novinky.cz news site, quoting sources close to the police investigation, said the blast had probably been caused by "careless manipulation with a dangerous explosive".

Killed him, so it wasn't very safe after all.

Re: Palestinian ambassador to Prague killed in safe explosio
It's not unusual for safes that contain sensitive documents to be wired up to a small explosive device that will destroy the documents in the event of unauthorized access. Or did I read that in a novel?

Quite possibly, but usually not enough to kill the intruder, and more likely incendiary than explosive...Faithfree wrote:It's not unusual for safes that contain sensitive documents to be wired up to a small explosive device that will destroy the documents in the event of unauthorized access.

I'd hate to see what would have happened if this had been an unsafe explosion.

Probably not common.
Probably incendiary, not explosive.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
