Still not getting the info you are getting there. Very frustrating. Terrible that they keep saying this is war.

Well this is all the local news channels... just like it was on 9/11

Of course all sorts of catch phrases are being bandied about... 'India's 9/11' etc etc. It's not war... it's a bunch of crazy people with blood in their eyes and and a cause that will never ever be solved like this.

His wife was in one of the rooms that caught fire. She was terribly burned and died from the burns Now they are saying they have not found the bodies of the children. Obviously it does not look good. Tragic.
