Wednesday’s walkie-talkie explosions were substantially stronger than Tuesday’s pager ones. This seems borne out in the relative numbers of fatalities. I guess it is possible to get more explosive in the former, so they did.

The injuries looked terrible in videos I saw, mainly facial and abdominal. The pain and suffering seems indescribable to me: These are in high proportions young people who will need to be cared for for life. I can’t even imagine it.

Its a kind of WMD distributed in 20 gram quantities.
