This is the first chance I've had of getting to the 'Cat since hearing the news.Like everyone else I can only offer my heartfelt sympathy.
I also pray that the response from the US follows the Lockerbie model not that following the bombing of the US Embassies. Quite apart from the questionable morality of a military response I would suggest it would be unlikely to be of any paractical use. One would expect that any group with the sophistication to organise this attack will also have anticipated such a response and dispersed, probably prior to the attack.
Once again sympathy to all US 'catters.
