When is an explosion not a detonation?
Man...you've just gotta love Reuters' nuance:
Casablanca police make arrest but no blast: witness
Casablanca police arrested a man in a Casablanca suburb where three bombs exploded this week but no bomb was detonated, a local resident said on Thursday.
"There was no explosion. The police seem to have arrested the last of the terrorists whose house they raided on Tuesday," the resident said by telephone.
A police source said a man detonated a bomb he was carrying on Thursday but a Moroccan government official then denied this.
Does that mean the Moroccan official denied the statement from the police source or the story itself? In either case, it's comforting to know that nothing actually, you know, exploded.

It's a special magical bomb, available only in Morocco.
So, it maybe exploded or maybe not, but you can be absolutely sure that it was NOT detonated.

Since it wasn't detonated, I suppose I ought to celebrate by fixing myself a djinn-and-tonic.
