Hi Matheus. For post like this please add a More Info link. Some people might not understand the Forrest Gump reference. For celebrity homes the More Info link is a requirement.

The fake runways nearby now show bomb damage. There are also new buildings that look to have been blown up.
All this lends credence to the "target" theories put forward earlier.

In the future a More Info link would be helpful for people who are unfamiliar with what you are posting. I hope you post more Welsh sites.
