‘Washington Post’ Columnist’s Car Explodes


Wow. Via Greg-

Anne Applebaum, editorial writer and columnist for The Washington Post, is under police protection after her Jeep’s engine exploded in mysterious circumstances.

Applebaum, wife of Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and author of “Gulag,” a Pulitzer prize-winning history of the Soviet Gulag, was driving in a Warsaw suburb on Saturday when she heard strange noises from under her hood and got out to investigate. Shortly afterward, the engine blew up, The Times of London reported. Applebaum was unhurt in the explosion. Polish police are considering it a technical problem, but she has been assigned bodyguards while the car’s remains are examined further.
