Yes, there was another bomb, far away. North of Beirut, actually. I was at Chatila at the time, and the only thing that I noticed that was out of the ordinary was that cell phones weren’t working. I later heard that they had cut them for an hour. Considering that the electricity had gone out about 15 times in the camp this morning, it didn’t really seem that bizarre. The footage being shown on television is again rather gory (several cars involved this time), though the target is supposedly in good condition.

I have to say that public figures being targeted with car bombs is starting to feel normal.
