Today's Bombing

The restaurant owners, who were inside when Hammad blew himself up, escaped with only scratches. Customer Atef Huda, an Arab taxi driver, was convinced they were spared because of their acts of charity.

"They give food, what's left, to the poor. Anyone who is poor who asks for food, they don't take money from them," Huda said. "That's why they were not injured."

One never knows. Interesting that it was an Arab who made the observation. I guess their charity was non-denominational.
