A truck bomb exploded outside of the Alfred J. Stephens high school in the capital city of Malden around 13:00 today. Apparently, a tractor trailer loaded with 35 tonnes of explosives disguised as a food delivery truck was driven up to the cafateria loading dock, where it was exploded. Everything in a 1 mile radius was destroyed. This marks the latest round of violence in the country, which was started Saturday night, when a group of people from the People's Jihad exploded a truck bomb in Talala, which is about 1500 miles south of Malden, which is in the central region. A total of 475 have been confirmed dead due to the previous 2 terrorist attacks. It is unknown how many died in the explosion today, but all 3 major school buildings in the complex were leveled. It remains to be seen whether or not the bombardment of Haiti with pigs and pork products will be stepped up.
