#3 The bombers obviously suffer from poor self-esteem. What a shame NASA wasn't available to remind them of the glories of muslim science.

#4 This morning the news said it was Al Qaeda, although I'm not sure the pretty people reading the news actually understood that as a specific group rather than the current term for "Islamic terrorists".

With the death toll heading towards 70, their "science" seems to be doing just fine. Too bad they can't find anything to do with it except kill people.

#9 From the First Reports Are Often Wrong File - NO Americans were killed. The women identified as an AmCit was later id'd as an Irish national. RIP to the victims.

No positive id on the headless horsemen but appear to be sub-Saharan African and Somali. Smart money is on Al-Shabab.
