!!!BREAKING NEWS!!!
Blasts rock Tanzania after military base accident
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania – Explosions rocked the night sky in Tanzania's capital Wednesday after an accident at a military base ammunition dump near the airport, officials said
Military spokesman Lt. Col. Kapambala Mgawe, said casualties were possible but officials would not know until Thursday. The explosions happened over several hours at the Gongo la Mboto military base in Dar es Salaam.
The road to the base was closed. Britain's Foreign Office sent out a travel warning saying it believed the nearby international airport had also been closed.
The advisory said the explosions rained debris across the city. Residents were advised to stay indoors and away from windows.
Residents reported loud booms that shook buildings over several hours. Photos sent to social networking sites showed huge orange explosions lighting up the sky.
"Of course there might be injuries and deaths but it's not yet confirmed," Mgawe said. "We are not allowed to go closer and, of course, the road to Gongo la Mboto has been closed."
James Kruuse, a resident of the capital, said explosions rattled the building he was in, which is about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the base.
There were "plenty, plenty of explosions, and we felt them far away," he said.
Explosions at the base's ammunition depot in spring 2009 killed more than a dozen people.
Arsenal fightback stuns Barca in Champions League
Arsenal gave themselves a fighting chance of reaching the Champions League quarter-finals here on Wednesday, coming from behind to stun favourites Barcelona 2-1 in a pulsating encounter.
Two goals in the final 12 minutes from Robin van Persie and substitute Andrey Arshavin clinched a dramatic victory for the English Premier League side after Barcelona had taken the lead through a first-half David Villa strike.
The result means Arsenal -- thrashed 6-3 on aggregate by Barcelona in last year's quarter-finals -- will carry a narrow lead into Camp Nou when the two sides meet in the second leg on March 8.

Brazil great Ronaldo confirms retirement
Three-time FIFA World Player of the Year Ronaldo, whose goalscoring genius led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup title, confirmed his retirement on Monday at the age of 34.
The tearful Corinthians striker announced his decision at a press conference in Sao Paulo, saying that although leaving football felt like "death," his body could no longer match the demands he was putting on it.
"I'm stopping my career as a professional footballer," he said, his voice breaking. "It's been a beautiful, emotional, marvellous career.
"These last two years, I've had a long series of injuries, from one side to the other, one leg to the other, one muscle to the other. The pain pushed me to think about the end of my career."
Ronaldo also revealed that he suffered from a thyroid problem that had made it difficult to control his weight.
"Four years ago, in Milan, I discovered that I suffered from an under-active thyroid that slowed down my metabolism and that to control it, I had to take hormones that weren't authorised in football as they were considered a form of doping," he said.
"Lots of people must regret having made jokes about my weight. But I feel no anger towards anyone."
Having earlier indicated that he hoped to play on until the end of the year, injuries and Corinthians' early elimination from the Copa Libertadores prompted him to bring forward his retirement.
"These pains made me bring forward the end of my career," he said.
He made the decision last Thursday, explaining: "When I decided, I felt like I was in intensive care, in a terminal condition. This announcement is like my first death. It's very difficult to give up something that makes you so happy, has such a grip on you, and gives you such love."
During a glittering 14-year spell in Europe, Ronaldo scored goals at a prolific rate for PSV Eindhoven, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and AC Milan, before returning to Brazil in 2009.
He won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and became the leading scorer in World Cup finals tournaments when he scored his 15th goal at the 2006 tournament in Germany.
He was twice named European Footballer of the Year, in 1997 and 2002, and finished his international career with 62 goals in 97 appearances.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, 'El Fenomeno' (The Phenomenon) won the World Cup with Brazil for the first time in 1994, though on that occasion the 17-year-old was part of the squad and did not play . In 1998, he was among the losing finalists, beaten 3-0 at Stade de France by a rampant French side that included the inspirational Zinedine Zidane.
Brazil's star striker suffered a convulsive fit on the eve of the match and was removed from the starting line-up.
In a dramatic changing-room re-shuffle, he was reinstated just before kick-off but was a shadow of the intimidating forward who had scored four goals in the run-up to the final.
But the 2002 tournament was where he made history.
Shrugging off injury in the tournament, which was hosted by Japan and South Korea, he played a key role in helping Brazil to the trophy, scoring both goals in his country's 2-0 win over Germany in the final in Yokohoma.
At the 2006 World Cup in Germany he took his World Cup tally to 15 goals, surpassing the previous record held by Gerd Mueller by one goal.
Ronaldo, who began his career with Cruzeiro, had to fight back from three career-threatening knee injuries over the course of his career.
He was sidelined while playing for Inter by a knee injury in 1999 only to damage the same knee in his comeback for the club in February 2000, effectively keeping him out of action until March 2002.
In February 2008 he ruptured a tendon in his right knee playing for AC Milan against Livorno, an injury that ended his career in Europe.

Malawi to debate public farting ban
MALAWIAN lawmakers will next week debate a law change to criminalise public farting, which a cabinet minister said had been encouraged by democracy.
'The government has a right to ensure public decency. We are entitled to introduce order in the country,' justice and constitutional affairs minister George Chaponda told independent radio station Capital Radio. 'Would you like to see people farting in public anywhere?' Since the country embraced multi-party politics 16 years ago people had felt free to fart anywhere, said Mr Chaponda.
'It was not there during the time of dictatorship because people were afraid of the consequences. Now because of multi-partism or freedom, people would like to fart anywhere, he said. Mr Chaponda, a key figure in President Bingu wa Mutharika's government, said that if Malawians cannot control their farting 'they should go to the toilet instead of farting in public.'
'Nature can be controlled... it becomes a nuisance if people fart anywhere.' A lawyer himself, Mr Chaponda said that under the amended law farting will be considered a minor offence.
Mr Chaponda's Democratic Progressive Party will bank on its majority to pass the amendment to a law which was first introduced in 1929. The amendment, which will make farting in public an offence, is not yet public and it will be presented to parliament for debate as part of a review by the state-sponsored Law Commission of the country's penal code.
Nobody in Malawi has been arrested nor convicted for farting under the old law, as police did not enforce it. The old law states: 'Any person who voluntarily vitiates the atmosphere in any place so as to make it noxious to the health of persons in general dwelling or carrying on business in the neighbourhood or passing along a public way, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour.'
