There are two threads in LBN on the Beirut bombing with a grand total of 4 replies between them.
It seems that DU is not particularly interested in discussing that bombing either.

In any case, my point was more to suggest that for some reason discussion of the Beirut bombing is not of particular interest on DU.
Perhaps that might be reflective of (or connected to) why it seemed to not get a lot of MSM coverage.
