Ook!
Apparently, the UK consulate in New York has been bombed. (Thanks to rentaghost31 for the tip-off). Nothing too serious, but erk!
It's fairly obviously election-related, but I suppose in a way we can be paradoxically reassured. It suggests that whoever is behind it (presumably al-Qaeda or similar) doesn't have operatives capable of doing the same in the UK itself, and, at least on this occasion, wasn't able to mount a particularly effective attack.
I mean, these are still only small comforts, but you know... I'm just sorry that the attackers obviously do have operatives in the US.
