Blimey, the main new outlets over here have hardly mentioned it. This was news to me.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

Just saw a report from CNBC that it's being treated as a terrorist attack.  I'm not sure if it's because they don't know for sure and are just being cautious or they have reason to believe that it is.

They're now reporting it was a suicide bomber.
