  A bizarre explosion at a church east of Kansas City killed one man on Saturday afternoon. ATF agents said the explosion at the Jehovah's Witness ' Kingdom Hall on Foggy Bottom Drive was intentionally set, and that the person who died appears to have committed suicide . Witnesses described large amounts of smoke pouring out of the building, which they said was just recently completed. The source of the explosion remains a mystery, but investigators found evidence of accelerants in the debris. The victim was the only person inside the building.

  The reference to "foggy bottom" and fox news threw me off.

  Thats so sad for the suicide victim. Probably driven to it by the crazy WTBTS.

  I am being mean but I saw the photo of the kingdom hall and it looked intact in its structure. I was hoping it had blown up and was not usable anymore.

  Ya gotta wonder about the circumstances. Was he DA'd/DF'd? Had he lost his wife/job/children/family to the WTS? It appears they took his sanity and his will to live.

  Poor man.
