One witness told Reuters some windows on the lowers floors of the Ritz-Carlton hotel had been shattered.

You realize when MSNBC gets a hold of your post Jim Thompson will pay dearly.

There are now reports that both bombs were inside the restaurants serving breakfast at 8am. These restaurants would have been packed with foreigners, mainly business people at that time. It is a new development that they have succeeded in getting the bombs inside the hotels, normally they drive into the security gates and blow up there.

Not good whatever way you look at it.
