 * Keep. Not "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities" for which NOTNEWS was intended. This is also a classic example of WP:BIAS. A similar incident (with 32 deaths) in a Western country would not for a second be nominated for deletion.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 01:09, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. per brewcrewer--Wikireader41 (talk) 04:46, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per above.  And -- notability is not fleeting.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:49, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Bercrewer. It's not the right application for NOTNEWS.--Oakshade (talk) 17:29, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - well-documented, major terrorist attacks in the modern world - involving hundreds or dead or wounded casualties - are almost always notable. Bearian (talk) 19:24, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
