Awful stuff. Just horrible.
My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by these attacks. Purposely targeting defenseless human beings like this must rank among the lowest things you can do.
I am in doubt wether this is any sort of Al-Qaeda attack. It might even be more like the Oklahoma bombing, and that was also around this time in April, that year. But that's merel speculation. Who knows who did this and why, I just hope they catch the culprit(s) soon.. I'd advice slow disembowlment with a wooden kitchen spoon.
I know it's sorta hypocritical to post about that, and ignore the fact that on the same day, in Bagdad, over 20 people died in a series of car bombings, in that one city alone. And that this stuff is daily business in a lot of other countries with many more victims, each and every day. I guess it's easier to accept that in those countries, it's more.. dare I say.. 'normal' than in a country like the ones we live in. But let's also not forget about those people. For they are also mostly just innocent human beings caught in a mess not of their own making.
