big sale on burnt burkas at the gap in the kuwait mall

whoops! it looks like maybe the explosion at the kuwait mall yesterday might have been caused by forces, says the nytimes:

it was an american cruise missile, we know from the markings and writing on it," said a kuwaiti police colonel who did not give his name. "it doesn't go up, it comes in low from the sea, and that's why there was no alert."

another uniformed kuwaiti official said that he, too, believed the missile to have been american and said that it "came from the sea." he then added that "it was a mistake" that it had struck kuwait.

in washington, the chief pentagon spokeswoman, victoria clarke, asked about reports that kuwaiti officials were blaming an american missile for the damage, said it was too early to tell what had happened or whose missile it was.
