h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've been watching some of the news reports, and reading the online news services about the bombs in Riyadh yesterday. We've been worried because Bernadette's parents and her sister live and work in Riyadh, although they are all OK right now. But her mother and sister both teach at the British School, which was the target for one of the accounts.

A close family friend, Momen, was there when it happened, and provides some chilling eyewitness accounts:

Of course, this is nothing new - there have been large bomb attacks on western targets before, but it still makes me very fearful for their safety.

Which is odd, really, since London has had its fair share of terrorist attacks, but that never really made me worried about being in London. It's strange how different your view of danger is when it's happening elsewhere.

Unfortunatly the best way to stop these things from happening is to ignore them completely.

They should be brought in the news as if an natural phenomena had coused it.

Here it came into my mind to make the statement "Terrorists do not exist" anyway!
