Rumors, Lies, Innuendo, Fear, Uncertainty, and Despair

Here is a summary of bombing reports for February 2010. These reports were collected from news sources world wide. Sources were searched for bomb reports without regard to any criteria. No attempt was made to confine reports to Muslims or to Middle Eastern locations although one, or both, of these criteria apply in many cases. There’s a notable increase in bomb incidents outside the Middle East this month. Maybe bombs are the new falafel.

Because these headlines are contemporaneous with the events, the numbers of persons killed or wounded may not agree with later reports. In a few cases, the bombs did not detonate.
