April 22nd Laundromat Explosion, Syria, Chinese Talent Show

from Headline Prayer · host Dave Davidson

Pray Along Headline Prayer in under 3 minutes. A washing machine full of gasoline-soaked clothing exploded in a Logan laundromat Tuesday afternoon, blowing out the windows but sparing injury for the handful of people who were inside. Two days after Syrian troops declared this town near the capital, Damascus, liberated from rebel fighters and 10 days since a suspected chemical attack, a tour on Monday revealed widespread destruction and traumatized residents who recalled months spent cowering in crowded underground shelters infested with lice, with barely any food or water. British pop singer Jessie J has won a Chinese TV talent show after dazzling millions of viewers with her rendition of Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You in the competition's final. The 30-year-old from east London, who was previously a judge on The Voice UK, said she wanted to do something "unexpected" and "bridge a gap between two cultures".
