Double check
Yesterday at work was a mess. Students were not allowed inside without identification, our two kindly security guards forced to actually do their jobs, our administration staff backing them up, double checking each student.
People are scared. Lots of kids didn’t come to school yesterday, for fear of being inside a building marked “American” I can only assume. None of the news got the story right, but as Lounsbury of ‘Aqoul states on his blog, and as a few phone calls confirmed, the two bombers yesterday were indeed on Blvd. My Youssef, but not at the end near the Consulate, rather, they were in front of the American Language Center and Pizza Hut (which are next to one another). An explosives belt was found outside an upscale hotel in the neighborhood as well.

it’s becoming a real psychosis! There was the same mess in the frensh center yesterday, after a young man came in front off the entrance reciting coran loudly…
The cops didn’t find any dangerous thinks in his bag, despite off few religious books.

Oh no!
Write something for me, baby! I want a Moroccan perspective (okay, no, I want an Oumama perspective!)

It would appear from my jaunt that one fellow blew himself to hell in front of the bank HQ of Attijariwafa, the other in front of the ALC.
Made a nice boom. Ruined me morning cafe. The hotel btw is Rivoli/Kandara. Mine.

@ Lounsbury:
Thank you - esp. for the name of the hotel!
Sorry your cafe was ruined, better luck next breakfast.

Welcome. It was, after all, where I am at, Rivoli.
