Explosion Outside Popular Nightclub in Trinidad's Capital Wounds Six

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) - An explosion wounded at least six people outside of a popular nightclub in Trinidad's capital on Friday, police said.
Five people were rushed to a nearby hospital, while a sixth person with cuts and burns on both arms, was treated at the scene.
One of the wounded was in serious condition, police said.
The explosion happened at 7:05 p.m. on a sidewalk outside of a popular club in the St. James section of the city, where the main streets are lined with bars and clubs.
Police cordoned off the scene of the explosion after hundreds of onlookers began gathering. Authorities were unsure if the explosion was caused by a bomb.
The explosion comes just days after the expiration of a U.S. Embassy advisory warning American citizens to avoid the downtown area of the capital from Oct. 9 to Oct. 12.
Friday night's explosion follows a series of bombings that have all occurred around the same time of the month.
The bombings began July 11, when an explosion in a trash bin on a busy downtown street injured 14 people - including a woman whose foot was amputated as a result of her injuries from the blast.
A second went off in a pile of trash bags on Aug. 11 and the third exploded in a trash bin behind a fast-food restaurant on Sept. 10. No one was injured in either incident.
Trinidad's government, which has not announced any arrests in the bombings, said it has increased security in the capital but has not urged its citizens to avoid the downtown.

The Disney security check is all complete, and I give it a thumbs-up. First off, you have to park at least two miles away, then you get on a tram to the main ticketing area. From there, you get on a monorail to the Magic Kingdom. I don't know any jihadis personally (nor do I ever want to), but I imagine that a majority of them have ADHD and would fall into the fetal position if they had to endure all this. We Americans and visiting Europeans are a tough bunch; we can handle these impositions.
Once you're at the main gate, your bags are thoroughly checked, and you have to have two fingers digitally fingerprinted. Disney workers claim it's so that no one tries to get in with your ticket; yeah, right ... Disney is tracking us down, gathering up all our purchasing history and getting ready to flood us with more marketing scams, er, ploys. They know where we live.
Disney's just not my cup o' tea. It's all fantasy - nothing about it is real. Sea World, at least for my family, is more real life. Heck, it has REAL animals, not animontronics. (My wife got a kick out of seeing cobwebs all over Disney's "animals" on the Jungle Cruise. She said, "Since they go to all this trouble trying to make these animals look real, the least they could do is clean up the cobwebs.") We spent 12 hours at Sea World and hated to leave; we spent five hours at Disney and couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.
In conclusion, jihadis likely will spare Orlando. Hearing "It's a Small World" would send them screaming into traffic on I-4, rendering their suicide bombs useless.
