The daily horror of dealing with car bombs is usually the burden of Iraqis and Israelis. You can add a new addition to the list: Hong Kong. When a man is killed by a small car bomb after an unsuccessful similar car bombing attempt 4 years ago, you need to follow the advice of my wise Ma: if you swim with sharks you're gonna get bit*. Whether it was triads or Mainlanders, either way it was clear this man had pissed the wrong people off. I have a feeling Hong Kong's tourism strategy won't include mentioning this little item.
