Default Man 'burst into flames' in shop

A bit of poetic justice IMO

Quote:
A man, believed to be a fire bomber, burst into flames in a shop in Belfast city centre on Monday night.

He ran off with his clothes on fire through shoppers in the Cornmarket area. Police said he had injuries to his head and shoulders.

Fire bombs or incendiary devices were used widely during the Troubles to disrupt trade, but the tactic has been rarely used in recent years.

It looks like the guy survived but I should imagine medical centres and doctors surgeries are being watched.

The burning question is why he did it.

Wonder if her started in the cook ware section and then ran while inflamed through the charcoal and lighter fluid section.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
