Each stone is a repetition of the same lines, in different languages. No word on which one was blown up in any account I can find. It could have been picked simply because it faced away from the parking lot and perhaps the cameras too. The site sits just over a hill crest, so it’s not in easy view from the highway.
Whoever did this used some serious explosives. To fracture granite like that took several charges, I’m guessing, and a lot more bang than most people can lay hands on.
yup, splinters, the charge was properly tamped
from what pix i’ve found online, the one that was destroyed has Swahili on one side and i think Arabic on the other
