#1 Chilean anti Semites didn't think this could happen to them.

#2 Rather broad and ignorant brush yer painting with, pilgrim. Especially considering the history:

[T]here have been a number of low-level attacks by anarchist groups in recent years, including one in July, and Monday's blast will put pressure on President Michelle Bachelet to respond at a time when her popularity is slipping and she has her plate full with a reform drive and worsening economy.

A number of explosive devices have been planted close to banks and police stations in Chile in recent years. In the past, one member of an anarchist group has been killed and another injured trying to set off explosive devices, but no bystanders have been hurt.

In July, incendiary devices exploded on an underground train and outside a church without causing injuries. Leaflets were found at the church site seeking "rights" for two Chileans held in Spain and linked to an extremist anarchist group.

This week Chile commemorates the 41st anniversary of the 1973 military coup that removed socialist President Salvador Allende from power. The events of the coup still deeply divide Chilean society, and the anniversary is traditionally a time of protests that often turn violent.
