Maybe I spoke too Soon
the other day when I said it looked like terrorism outside of Iraq and Afghanistan was declining.
First Thailand:
Twenty-nine bombings and 20 other attacks rocked the country's four southernmost provinces Sunday night. Most of the attacks took place in a span of 45 minutes, Akara said. The targets were karaoke lounges, hotels, schools, gasoline stations and power grids.
The big one in India:
At least 65 people have been killed after a bomb attack aboard a train travelling from India to Pakistan.
And another rash of fighting in Somalia:
Somali government forces and Ethiopian troops have shelled areas of Somalia's capital Mogadishu after their positions came under fire from insurgents.
At least 12 people, mostly civilians, were killed in the exchanges - the heaviest since the government took Mogadishu from Islamists last year.
Unknown gunmen launch almost daily attacks in the city.
I suppose I could take some small pleasure in predicting that the fighting in Somalia was bound to continue after the premature crowing about Ethiopia's easy conquest, but being right about terrible things happening is something I'd prefer to be wrong about.
