Walking to the pedestrian bridge tonight with Mazen, a new friend, when we hear an explosion.
Lots of smoke is in the air. From the bridge, we can see two pieces of wood burning on the land below, along the Euphrates.
Mazen tells us that the sound is used to fish. "Bomb in water, fish float." (Whats on the dinner menu?) As we get closer he says it appears to be an accident.
One of the fires looks like a boat on an island in the river.
Later young boys tell M a scene for a movie is being filmed.
We have no idea what to believe, vote for your favorite:
(A) Fisherman's bomb exploded, sending boat into the air, leaving fire, mass smoke, and possible dead bodies and fish in the Euphrates.
(B) Movie scene, nothing out of the ordinary.
(C) Movie scene, but they REALLY DO fish with bombs.
(D) Create your own story.
