The BBC has an on the scene report from a Luna Caprese employee. Reading this really made me want to go throttle some G-D terrorists scrawny, dirty neck.

One wall of the restaurant has partly collapsed and many people have been injured," he said.
The restaurant is especially popular with foreigners.
