It feels wrong not to have a thread about this (for all the good that posting threads does after something like this has happened) but one of the largest terrorist attacks of the century took place at the weekend when a truck bomb in Mogadishu killed over 300 people after the driver detonated it near a fuel truck, causing a fireball that engulfed an entire street. Jason Burke has written that the perpetrator may have been motivated by an attack by US forces on his hometown that killed ten civilians two months ago.
The death toll is simply staggering. But it also underlines the extent to which there is a war going on that we hardly ever see.
