Africa Cup of Nations shooting

This is quite shocking. I suppose if you think about it, with all the troubles over the years, perhaps not as shocking as first thought but quite out of the blue and potentially so so damaging to a continent that seemed to be shaking off a lot of negative history.

There's bound to now be knee-jerk reactions about the World Cup later this year. My geography's not brilliant but Africa's a large continent - does this automatically impact South Africa? Should this awful attack really affect something that could be so positive? Personally I'm firmly in the camp of not letting the terrorists "win" by wreaking havoc. A poor turn of phrase given the situation but life, certainly in some respects, should go on.
