Sorry, I wasn't counting domestic terrorism.

3rd bomb just went off

 

[BBKers]

Terrorism doesn't necessarily mean foreign involvement.
Crazy stuff watching this live. Hope damage is minimal.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

They're still finding unexploded ED's. Takes me back to July 2011.

Just hope the explosion has as little impact as possible. Damn.

 

[Rangers79]

Hope all those affected recover quickly. Insane.

There is also a thread about this in the Lounge and to reiterate on one of the posts there:

Do not point fingers at any country you please until more information is distributed.
