    It might be an idea to emphasise that this was in Somalia...

    I know it's hard to beleive but it's not bad. You just see the group speeking then the blast occurs away infront of them. They block their ears and take cover. none are seen to be unjured. They really is nothing graphic, you just hear the blast.

    Do they really think the Olympics is ever going to be held there when they barely control their own capital city?

    Mad confusion :confused:

    Of course not, maybe they receive funding for a bogus 'Olympic committee'?
