The Admiral 10/15/17 9:11:06 AM #1:	https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/15/world/africa/somalia-bombing-mogadishu.html The death toll from twin bombing attacks in the heart of Somalias capital rose to 189 on Sunday as emergency crews pulled more bodies from cars and buildings demolished by the Saturday blasts, which officials called one of the deadliest attacks to hit Mogadishu since an Islamist insurgency began in 2007. President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo declared three days of national mourning and called for donations of blood and funds to help the victims. The truck explosions left at least 200 others wounded, and the toll was expected to rise. Todays horrific attack proves our enemy would stop nothing to cause our people pain and suffering. Lets unite against terror, Mr. Farmaajo said on Twitter. He added that flags would be flown at half-staff: Time to unite and pray together. Terror wont win. I call on our citizens to come out, extend help, donate blood and comfort the bereaved, said the president, who himself donated blood on Sunday. Continue reading the main story There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Saturdays blasts. Photos published by the local news media showed that scenes of carnage and devastation. Some of the victims had died in their cars and in public transport vehicles. Families were scrambling to find missing relatives amid the rubble and in hospitals. Some reports put the death toll as high as 218, but that could not be independently confirmed. The United States Mission to Somalia condemned the bombings, calling them cowardly attacks that reinvigorate the commitment of the United States to assist our Somali and African Union partners to combat the scourge of terrorism. Those pictures in the article are something. Incredible amount of destruction. --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:888468172] in 189 killed...

Some horrific act happens, and then we simply move on a few days later and forget it when it happens in our own countries. When it happens so far away, it is barely a blip. Does that suck as a general mindset? Sure. But it a sad reality of the world we live in now. Violence is so common place we are no longer so shocked/horrified by it.
