I was on my way back from School, and I was stopped in the street by a loud bang, and a cloud of dust. I heard screams and a group of men rode past on their bikes. They were all partially injured. The bomb had hit a factory where they were working. The Factory was a Cotton one and it was in the middle of their break. The roof cave in and everybody was falling over. I went home after seeing this and my mum told me that my Uncle was injured and was in Hospital. He wasnt badly injured but a piece of machinery had cut his leg, but sadly it killed his friend. From days on the Factory was closed and many men and women were out of jobs.
