BAGHDAD, July 14 (Reuters) - A loud explosion shook central Baghdad late on Thursday, sending a pall of oily black smoke into the night sky and flames could be seen from a kilometre (half a mile) away.

One police source said an initial report indicated that it may have been caused by exploding gas canisters close to an electricity sub-station.

Reuters correspondents in the city heard gunfire coming from the nearby Karada district after the blast.

5. Seen it today when the CNN newsreader in Baghdad was on

He was listing all the positive things that happened in Iraq today and I was wondering WTF, I could barely see the CNN guy through the haze all around him. And he was only a foot or 2 from the camera. I was puzzled as to why he never mentioned anything about the all soot and smoke in the air around him?
