That would solve a lot of problems.
we should be so lucky
I really hope you are correct. Bombs are nasty business!

Only two roads into that neighborhood.
Lots of security cameras.

Limited for sure. Pita is more like it.
My office is about a mile away from there.
“Limited for sure. Pita is more like it.”
It will be interesting to see who these victims are.
What??? Pleading with bad guys doesn’t work? An outrage.
Muslims I bet
“What??? Pleading with bad guys doesnt work?”
Maybe it worked this time.
Maybe they are the overgrown brats of well off parents
These bombings comprise an unusual MO. I don’t know what to make of it.
