Not known. Apparently it was by the American Airlines desk.


All things considering, my bet is on a deliberate attack, but we dont really know enough at the moment.
Just seen the news on BBC, they're reporting it was near the American Airlines but needs to be confirmed.
Several have died.

Sky says terrorist action, shots fired, shouts in Arabic, then an explosion.
I've seen reports suggesting 11 deaths. Sky News just reported that 'Arabic shouting' and gunshots were heard before the explosion. I'd bet my life on it that this is another Islamic terror attack.

Nothing in the news shocks me anymore. I just find it entertaining, kind of like a modern Game of Thrones.


You wouldn't if you were there, you'd find it bloody terrifying.

I'm gonna watch aljazeera Arabic and see what they say about the perpetrators

But American Airlines? Why would they only specifically target them?

You've never met me. Danger excites me. It is why I spend my time posting on forums.

So you think so? I'm not sure and I doubt it's connected.

As a symbolic attack on america possibly. Or it could not have been AA specifically.

Was it a lone wolf attack?
