"We're investigating it. We just have initial reports of a sound," US Marines Captain Stewart Upton, a spokesman at the US/UK Central Command headquarters, told Reuters.

Witnesses said the explosion apparently came from warehouses outside the sprawling camp in desert land outside the capital Doha. A pall of smoke hung briefly in the air.
