"Investigation showed that around 3 p.m., three Explosive Ordinance Disposal operatives... brought a vintage mortar shell to a welding shop...to diffuse it...

But being unsuccessful using a wrench, a worker from the shop used a welding machine that caused the explosion, he said."

I prefer sniping over bombing. Much more quiet and much less mess to clean up
