It is sad. If only these misguided persons, who are responsible for the unnecessary carnage, could redirect their destructive minds and energy towards constructive purposes - then it will be paradise on this earth. But this is wishful thinking. God bless and protect all.

I struggle to understand why on earth this news item is missing from the western press. Surely it is newsworthy for its connection to the issue of international terrorism. Just speechless.
