There was also two other bombing incidents on the same day in Yunan. Both of which were on buses on the same route (different times). thus the reason I am on this site, trying to search for leaked info. They're understandably attempting to cover this up.

That's a golden chance for all small minorieties who claim freedom and indipendence:for the sake of Kossovo and the Olimpics...

If this was true I am sure we would've seen something on the streets. I wonder if it is just paranoia as the metro authority and the police upgraded their security presence and luggage inspections because of the Olympics. J.

When it was posted, I thought perhaps it was just a slow response for people affected to report on it. As a few hours have passed and still no word, I tend to feel it's bunk. But agreed Matt, I really hope it's not true too. This country doesn't need any more victims this week. I tend to agree that there’s no way this would be silenced.

Any explosions on the subways would be witnessed/affect tens of thousands of people. The censorship machine is pretty good, but it ain't that good. "Those who have been to Shanghai lately may notice that all subway stations no longer contain garbage bins." And this is down from like one garbage bin per station before? :) I sent this around on Twitter, but I don’t really believe it myself.
