Multiple bombings occurring at the same time = Al-Qaeda.

In case anyone who's been asleep for the last decade is reading this.

My advance-headline service is saying "scores dead". That's an awful lot.

when are these muslims going to realize that no matter how much the arab countries hate the USA, MOST of the victims of these terrorist blasts are MUSLIM..

I have no idea what the nationalities/religions are of the people that've been killed, but I'd be willing to bet that more than 50% are muslims who were working to make a living at the hotel..IMO

Come on, these are just some poor, disenfranchised yoots who live in tents and can't afford to stay in a nice hotel getting back at "da man". (sarc)
