Whew! 우리나라사람 safe and sound.

The Joongang Ilbo brings us the story that "A Korean injured in Pakistan hotel blast."
A South Korean was lightly injured in the deadly truck bombing at a hotel in Islamabad, which killed at least 60 people, and is quickly recovering, Seoul’s Foreign Ministry said yesterday.

No more South Koreans are believed to have been injured by the bombing, which took place Saturday evening, officials added.

The massive bombing at Islamabad’s Marriott Hotel, a popular gathering place for foreigners and Pakistani elite, is believed to have left at least 60 people dead and 200 badly injured, with more dead expected to be found in the wreckage, according to officials there.

“A South Korean who had been dining at the hotel during the bombing suffered scratches but is almost fully recovered,” a Foreign Ministry official said. “The individual was on a business trip to Pakistan, and no more South Koreans have been found hurt.”

You have no idea how relieved I am. And that's today's news from the biggest small town papers in the world.
