The groups have stepped up attacks in recent years and have been targeted in a recent police crackdown. Although militants often carry out bombings, the vast majority involve small devices planted outside banks, foreign companies or car dealerships late at night and do not cause any injuries.

Up until this incident, I believe the intent of the bombers was, as mentioned, property damage and they have been careful to minimize the potential for injury to people. This, in turn, has permitted a tolerance in pressing these groups by the authorities. Now they have rather deliberately targeted a person and have killed a police officer.

The rules of the game are about to change...

And yet, didn’t they still manage to kill a three year old girl?
