bombs over baghdad

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7009814.stm While we were sleeping in our beds last night a bomb went off in downtown Prishtina, less than a mile away. People were wounded and killed. We drove by the wreckage of the shop today and thought there had been a fire. It made me think of my family and the loss of our house a year ago. At least everyone was OK in that disaster. We heard the news of the bombing from a cousin in the Faroes. This kind of violence doesn't seem to be a pattern in the conflict here, so it will be notable to see how events develop.

There might be something wrong with me, and I can't help it if this was my first thought. But we're friends so I'm going to be honest with you.. Have you thought about getting your photos/thoughts about all of this covered internationally? I can't imagine that there would be a great number of international media personnel there at the moment.. Just a thought.
