Terror in my City

Last Tuesday, two buses were blown up by homicide-suicide terrorist bombers in my city. 16 people died, ages ranging from 3 to 70. It's absolutely horrible. Though I didn't know any of those killed, it is still very shocking. We never had this kind of terror attack here. The last attack took place about two years ago - but even then it was of much smaller magnitude.

Chechen terrorists took 150 hostages at a school yesterday is Russia. Right now they are still being held. The terrorists probably hope Russian forces will storm in, so they can kill them along with the hostages and themselves. I don't understand how anyone can sympathize with people carrying out these kinds of outrages.
