I'm no expert or have seen 100% of the evidence but from what I've seen of 
he
aircraft it looks like a Fuel tank explosion.
A friend who works for maintanence for an Australian airline told me
about the fuel pumps would arch in the older aircraft. He told me about
2 months before and after TWA he came up to me and said "I bet it
was a fuel tank if it wasn't a bomb." I suppose he was right.
