This was not a "terrorist attack." It was not aimed at civilians, and ample warning was given to leave the building. This wing of the hotel was being used as the British Army headquarters.

Todd, you mentioned that "no signs...exist." While the hotel may show no signs of destruction, last spring I photographed a sign outside the King David hotel that documents the attack.
