American information centre in Nepal bombed, no casualties
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/847172.cms

KATHMANDU: Suspected Maoists bombed the American information center in Kathmandu on Friday, damaging parts of the building but causing no casualties, police said.

It was the first time that the rebels, who oppose US support for the government, are suspected of directly attacking an American government target. The attack occurred just minutes after the center was closed for the weekend, and no one was injured, police said. Both Americans and Nepalese work at the center.

The attackers threw two bombs from the parking lot and then fled, police said.

The explosions damaged parts of the building, which houses an auditorium and an education counselling section, as well as the embassy's offices of public information, culture and education. The center and embassy are about 5 km apart.

All hell is about to break loose after the Ayman Al Zawahiri tape was broadcast.

1. OK, lets see if we have everyone accounted for
As I stated on another post, adding this one, we now have:

Maoists/Katmandu

Great Britain/Iran deadline

Israel/Syria

Russia/all terrorists, everywhere they find them

US/Afghanistan, Iraq

I guess that is just about it. * better hurry and choose his next country to invade, they are going fast!
