Tragedy at the end of the World Cup final in Argentina: a 24-year-old fan died after being decapitated by the explosion of a paper bomb in Neuquem, in a central-western region of the country. Three other family members, including a minor, were injured in the explosion. The Argentine prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation to ascertain the exact dynamics of the incident, local media reported.
Initial investigations revealed that the pyrotechnic material is not of the type commonly on the market but is on sale only to authorized professionals who must follow precise protocols for their use. The youngster would have made it explode at the end of the final lost by the Albiceleste against Spain, despite the defeat which had chilled the enthusiasm of the Argentinians.
