OK, make it two news stories ending in "in Vancouver?!" for me today, but this one's pretty damn surprising too -- it looks like something straight out of Baghdad (even if the reasons aren't quite the same).

An explosion ripped through a small Vancouver restaurant early Wednesday morning, blasting through two shops and setting off a blaze that caused enough damage to look like what some onlookers described as a bomb.

At least four other storefronts on the street were damaged in an inferno police called suspicious.

Taco Del Mar at Broadway and Heather, police think it was a gas leak. Amazingly, no one was injured. Blew out some of the windows across the street at the Holiday Inn and a pharmacy which, if memory serves, would be London Drugs?

Needless to say, a Starbucks was also blown out -- it's literally impossible to have an explosion in Vancouver without damage to at least one.
