Heard a "BOOM!" and then machine gun fire, which we are still hearing sporadically.
These are not unusual sounds for us at all, we just didn't want to hear them today.
Allegra, stay safe today. God bless.
Frankly, all the terrorists have to do is set off loud fireworks and shoot machine guns into the air and this election will be declared a failure by 9am Baghdad time. The mediots are all just standing on the balcony of their hotel rooms listening to the distant booms and declaring a disaster.
