It was the third such explosion in the country since Friday.

Human Rights Watch estimates that at least 85 people have been killed in political violence in the run-up to the delayed national elections, being held over three days:  Saturday, April 16 and April 26.

    OT
    @Joey: Philip actually meant Facebook, although I like your scenario much, much better. I'll leave it up to you to decide which one-the F.B.I. Agent, or the football reference.
