North Korean officials said the explosion occurred when train cars carrying <B>dynamite</b> touched power lines, according to O?Mahony, who spoke to the Irish radio station RTE by telephone from Pyongyang, North Korea?s capital.
?What they?ve said is that two carriages of a train carrying dynamite ? they were trying to disconnect the carriages and link them up to another train,? she said. ?They got caught in the overhead electric wiring, the dynamite exploded, and that was the cause of the explosion.? </I>
