“A Somali terrorist group tied to Al Qaeda reveled in the tears and blood they spilled in Uganda as they claimed responsibility for simultaneous bombings that tore through World Cup parties in the country’s capital Monday night, killing 74 people.
“Al-Shabab militants said they would carry out attacks “against out enemy” wherever they are. “No one will deter us from performing our Islamic duty,” said Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage, a group spokesman in Mogadishu.
“An American aid worker was also killed and six members of a Pennsylvania church group were seriously wounded in the blasts, which targeted an outdoor rugby field and a packed Ethiopian restaurant in Kampala.
“Blood and pieces of flesh littered the floor among overturned chairs at the scenes of the blasts, which went off as people watched the World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands.
“Al-Shabab commander Yusuf Sheik Issa rejoiced in the bombings…”
It would seem to me that now would be an appropriate moment to wield the terrible swift sword of vengeance. Dozens of innocents were murdered in cold blood, including a fellow American, who was apparently there for no other reason than to bring a little relief to people who need it.
The terrible swift sword is ready; but is the hand willing? We shall see. We shall see.
