12/17/2002: "Paradise", before and after

Some older news images, but the queue is light these days, just like I am late in posting today.

The above is a before and after of the Paradise Hotel in Kenya, which was the terrorist attack that happened a few weeks ago targeting Israelis outside of Israel. I thought the item was noteable because it shows a larger attack than was conveyed in the news otherwise - at least from my POV.

Part of it was the low death toll - only 17 killed. From the above photo, that's surprisingly low. I wonder if the terrorists goofed by attacking when people would be specifically away from the hotel.

The entire thing was done by one car bomb. Damn, that's how much one car bomb can do?
