Anyone heard of a U.S. embassy explosion?

[Judi Lynn]

Just heard on ABC radio news that there is a report of explosions at the U.S. and British embassies in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. No more info. available.

First I've heard this morning, and I've been listening to the radio for hours.

You remember their president is a vicious beanbag who tortures people, and _{George W. Bush} has contracted his country to be one of the "Coalition of the Willing" and is building an airforce base(s) there.....

3. Whoa! First suicide bombings in Central Asia.

Thanks a lot. Never expected to see an article this fast.

Uzbekistan's a very strange government. God knows HOW many people are going to get reamed over this.

You may remember seeing a site with photos discussing the fact they even BOILED a couple of their torture subject in water up to their waists before they mercifully were allowed to die.

This is really rotten.

4. Just got this in my email:

Explosions reported at U.S., Israeli embassies in Uzbekistan -
Explosions hit the U.S. and Israeli embassies in the Uzbek capital Friday, a top police official said. Another blast also hit the general prosecutor's office and caused "deaths," a Russian news agency reported.

From MSNBC - but there is no story yet.
