Paul,
Please read more carefully what I am saying. I am just
saying that we must be CAREFUL and wait for more
details and information from the authorities and
critically evaluate it before we call anything a
"terrorist act" and before we blame any persons or
groups responsible. The media is always quick to blame
most things on "terrorism" and we must not act the
same way as the media. I am not saying this is a
terrorist act or not. All I am saying is that it is
premature at this point to draw conclusive
conclusions.
