That claim is premature; there are suggestions the bomb was placed on the sidewalk near the entrance. A BBC reporter stated there was a crater but never indicated the location. The footage is gruesome regardless.

We stay here often and celebrated my better half's birthday 3 weeks ago with a visit to the shrine as well.

This whole episodes hits too close to home.
