They arrested 16 people AFTER the attck. Well, now that means AQ can’t even get away with it anymore. Not real impressive AQ. We feel for the wounded and the individual who made the ultimate sacrifice. However, the incident speaks well of the ability to round up the pigs who do such things in the name of their false god. Did someone drop a dime on the pigs? Could be.
