US Attacked: US/Israeli Embassy Bombed in Uzbekistan
Simultaneous bomb attacks struck the U.S. and Israeli embassies in Uzbekistan as well as the state prosecutor's office in the capital Tashkent Friday, killing at least two people and wounding five.Remember, a US embassy is the sovereign soil of the US. These terrorists have just declared war on the US.The action appeared clearly coordinated, days after the start of a trial in Tashkent of 15 suspected Islamist extremists on charges of trying to overthrow the ex-Soviet state in connection with attacks in March that killed nearly 50 people.
UPDATE: Good news, no American casualties but....
Outside the heavily fortified American compound, a body believed to be that of a homicide bomber lay in the street across from the entrance.
For updates I suggest Jeff Quinton and the Command Post
Update: Best observation by Jane:"Once we reestablish our alliances with France and Germany, this won't happen any more."
