Explosion at Russian research lab that stores smallpox virus: officials

On the one hand:
A virus research center in Russia — one of two places in the world that houses the smallpox virus — exploded on Monday, officials said.

But it is also reported:
Nikolai Krasnikov, the head of Koltsovo — which is known as a science city — said no biohazardous material was being stored where the blast occurred, and that there's no threat to the population. He added the worker who was injured suffered burns and is in intensive care.

The question is, do you believe the head of the lab?
