Not only that, when all of the injured were transported to the hospitals, it was shift-change time. There is an overlap where doctors and nusrses that are getting ready to leave give reports on all of the patients to the doctors and nurses that are going to relieve them. So there were twice as many doctors and nurses in the hospital compared to what it would have been at another time.
Oh, and they are saying that the Saudi "person of interest" has been cleared. I have also read that pressure cookers are often used to make IED's in Afghanistan. Don't know if that's true.
