Just a reminder for everyone to be careful out there

Scary stuff

BEIJING (AP) -- Team officials and state media say a knife-wielding Chinese man attacked two relatives of a coach for the U.S. Olympic men's volleyball team at a tourist site in Beijing.

One of the victims was killed and one was injured in the attack on the first day of the Olympics Saturday.
From the article, it wasn't clear what the motivation was, although it was implied that they were targeted because they were foreigners. So it seems that the games are attracting statement-makers from both outside and inside China.

Well, I was with a group of U.S. chaplains this aftetnoon and one of them told me that story. She got the text from her sister who was reading online NYtimes during that period. It petrified me a lot. I just got back home from the hotel and wanna say be careful to everyone of you who are now hanging around in BJ.
