No, but yesterday one of the news issues was the possible effects of an asteroid hit. They said America can pretty much know when one is comming, but not 3rd world countries. They might think they have been hit by a bomb instead.
Must be the US knew it was comming, and maybe Russia too. Or we warned Russia.
Anyway, the concern was if it were to hit, say, Iraq, India or Iran. They'd think they were at war.

i think they really just figured since it didnt hit a populated area, it couldn't have been a targeted attack. simple logic forms the simple hypothesis. along with that, although the U.S. is the only nation with satelites that may recognize what types of expolosions are occuring, most semi developed countries can seismically determine what types of tremors meen what, and all of them that have such instruments know how to register explosions. you ppl seem to be over thinking it all.
