#2 A bomb in car to get an islamopig ? Someone is learning fast. A good education is the strength of every society...or: live and learn and then pay back.

#3 From Islam Online: A Qatari Interior Ministry source told the official Qatar News Agency that Yandarbiyev was killed and his 13-year-old son wounded when a bomb blast targeted their car as they returned from weekly prayers at a Doha mosque. Another source at Al-Hamad hospital, where Yandarbiyev succumbed to serious injuries sustained in the blast, told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that his son, Daoud, was in stable condition.
Qatar's Al-Jazeera news channel earlier said two bodyguards were killed in the attack. But the hospital official said there were no dead bodyguards and the Interior Ministry statement made no mention of bodyguards.
A witness has told AFP that the blast occurred in the Al-Dafna residential area at 1:00 pm (1000 GMT) and the ex-Chechen leader's four-wheel drive vehicle was burned by the explosion.

Yandarbiyev was leaving a mosque ... when the blast occurred.

When that mosque issues its "religious materials" it ought to also issue instructions for proper handling.

#5 Sounds like our Russian cousins reached out and touched someone. Think they'd contract out?
