Two homemade grenades exploded outside the Manhattan office building that houses the British Consulate, shattering windows in the pre-dawn hours on Thursday as voters in Britain went to the polls in a general election, New York officials said.
I laughed when I read this, it's not funny, but it is so pathetic that I laughed. First there was 9-11, then the disaster in Madrid prior to their elections, utterly tragic, but on a far smaller scale than 9-11. And now this is what the terrorists are reduced to
There were no injuries reported, and no motive was known.
The explosions occurred shortly after 3:30 a.m. and were caused by two metal "novelty grenades," one in the shape of a pineapple, the other a lemon, both packed with gunpowder, police said.
Won't be long and it will be plastic tipped sucker darts. Bombs, even ones that don't hurt anybody, are not funny, but I am just pleased at this evidence that we are winning.
