I feel like I'm being stalked by suicide bombings today.

Last night's explosion in West Jerusalem took place on Emek Refaim.

It's a very laid back street of cafes and restaurants a few hundred yards from the apartment I stay in when I'm in Jerusalem. On my days off I'd stroll down there and read the papers over a coffee. I'll be steering clear from now on.

That attack was followed by a suicide bombing in Arbil, which as regular readers will know is where I started my Iraqi odyssey.

It's all a little too close.
