Briton killed in Qatar theatre car bomb

This is the same explosion in which [1] Natasha Tynes almost perished. From [2] The Telegraph with thanks to Granny Weatherwax:

A car bomb in Doha which demolished a theatre leaving one Briton dead and up to 50 people injured, may be the work of al-Qa'eda, investigators believe.

Jonathan Adams died when an explosion rocked the building in Qatar's capital Doha where a 100-strong audience was watching a performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night....

The Qatar Interior Ministry said a suicide car bomber, Egyptian Omar Ahmad Abdullah Ali, caused the explosion and an investigation is under way.

One theory being investigated is that al-Qa'eda was behind the attack. It has been reported that the group has threatened to target Westerners living in the region....

Or perhaps Shakespeare doesn't agree with them.
