#3  I think they're not listing all the maimed, Frank. Note the headline: 7 injured. The story talks about four people. I have no idea what happened to the other five, and I'm not interested enough to go to the source.

#2  On the bright side - they seem to be hitting what they're aiming at, no "innocent bystanders". Which is nice
