It is now reported there are 156 dead and 400 wounded by the 8 bomb attacks on churches and hotels. How can anyone bring themselves to indiscriminately kill and injure so many people going about their daily lives. The attacks were on Christian churches during Easter services and tourist hotels. It is being reported they were terrorist attacks carried out by religious extremists.

I don't care how or who you worship - nothing justifies this sort of action.

Lazigirl, I’m so glad that your family are safe, if traumatised. The possessions they lost can be replaced, the main thing is that they are safe.

Sadly too many people weren’t safe. These type of attacks are abhorrent to any normal person. To think it has been done in the name of religion, there are no words.
