There was a particularly nasty bomb about 45 minutes ago, across town in Achrafiyeh. A fair amount of destruction, definitely casualties. We are fine- not even close enough to have heard it. I just talked to our friend, who was at the scene and she says it is pretty bad. The footage on TV is fairly apocalyptic.

In other news, we spent the morning at a demonstration/memorial for the anniversary of the Sabra and Chatila massacre. Very interesting, and I hope to post about it later.
