A man suspected of causing an explosion in Rotterdam two years ago, in which three people died, has been acquitted. Jalal O., a 37-year-old man who rented a garage in the Schammenkamp area of the city, was accused of using the premises as a drugs lab for processing cocaine. In the aftermath of the explosion he climbed through the rubble looking for victims, and was initially perceived by local residents as a “hero”, according to media reports.
