While CO is a byproduct of methane oxidation, CO itself is still flammable. It can be further oxidized to CO2 (2CO + O2 --> 2 CO2).
That doesn't mean I think this is a legit reason to explain the explosion. Why would there be some large contained concentration of CO somewhere? What sparked the explosion?
I think it is much more likely that it was an implausible excuse for underground habbenings in D.C.
