At this point everything is pure speculation so in accordance with that, if this were a planned explosion, would this date have any significance to Islamofascists? I ask because there were also as many as four explosions in Bali earlier today.
Today (until sundown Saturday) is Shaban 27, 1426 AH. Shaban is the 8th month. Don't know whether that's a significant date or not.
When does Ramadan begin? Anyone know? I know it's soon. It is a very significant and emotive date for Muslims.
