I see no one's talking about the elephant in the room--the Palestinians, who have used car bombs for years.
 

I am misspelling his name in major way but it could be the work of Muniyega who engineered the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon in 1983 and who is associated with Al Queda. Whoever/whatever clan or mafia did the bombing will get big backslaps and bragging rights in the "terrorist community". My theory is the UN means nothing to them. All they know and care is it's a bunch of foreigners operating there. So kill them for Allah.

You're close on the name--and when I first saw the shots of the scene I thought of the Marine barracks and Khobar towers.

hmmm, 1983 bombing was Hezbollah, which was tied to Iran ... if we find Hezbollah and/or Iran working close to AQ ... whooo boy, prepare for it to get hotter in the ME.

Bush needs to think about the next steps carefully here ... the strategery is working - the flies are coming right to the bug zapper ... now we have to figure out how to swat down the networks.
