I would like to know why news like this is not getting major coverage. All one sees on the news is information on the rallies and yelling sessions between different parties. Instead media should be focusing and bringing attention to this incident, the recent blasts, the ridiculously high number of street crimes, the economy so that people/all elected parties will go back to doing their jobs, which is running the country!
