Bomb explodes near Marine Corps race in New Jersey - CNN.com

(CNN)An explosion that went off in a garbage can Saturday morning in a New Jersey beach town likely was timed to disrupt a Marine Corps charity run, authorities said.

Three pipe-bomb-type devices wired together were found near the boardwalk in Seaside Park. No injuries were reported, and a four-block area was evacuated, authorities said.




No one was hurt, this is good.

Be interesting to see who/what/why in the next weeks.
 
Here's a hint. Begins with IS and ends with IS
Why would it be them?

Besides, how could it be, they're only in Iraq and Syria, as the name states.
 
Fortunately whoever did it was incompetent.

Nah, just unlucky, apparently.

From the article in the OP:
"If it was just a matter of minutes, in terms of difference, there would have been a good number of people running past that explosive device" because of its location along the race route, Della Fave said.

Registration problems at the starting line delayed the start of the race, which meant no one was near the garbage can when the explosion happened, a law enforcement official said.

"We were lucky," the official said.
 
Unlikely ISIS... pipe bombs in garbage cans does not fit their MO, and they would want everyone to know it was them.

Probably anarchist or anti-military types, or... based on history... a military type who has lost their mind just a bit.
 
Tell that to Belgium and France.
IS is the overarching prefix, so I suppose in that case we'd have "ISBF" or "ISFB"

How can you say that - the San Bernardino terrorists -- oh, excuse me, the "workplace violence couple" -- put lots of pipe bombs on the site of their attack, as well as at their home.

A pipe bomb is a crude but easy-to-assemble explosive device, and so it can be a weapon of convenience for terrorists, including lone wolves who haven't had a lot of preparatory experience.
 
They attacks were launched by Muslim terrorists.
Terrorists who consider themselves Muslims.

But yes.

How is this relevant to the event in NJ?

But if it is IS, it'll be ISNJ.

How many Muslim terrorists used pressure cookers?

They are Muslims. Denying they aren't is stupid.

What do you mean 'why them'? This is coming on the anniversary of 9-11, an event which thugs like them like to celebrate.


Besides, how could it be, they're only in Iraq and Syria, as the name states.

Strange - those dead people in Paris and in Brussels seem to have died, in spite of Iraq and Syria being so far away.

Those people on 9-11 also died, in spite of Afghanistan being so far away.

What does distance have to do with it?
People like you want to bring them in on refugee status anyway.

More uneducated bull**** posting when nothing is really known.

Everybody run and check the Youtube for answers......and get tinfoil.....and Kool Aid.

Uh...that was 5 days ago.

You're assuming.

Never assume.

I was trying to make it a kinda/sorta joke, because ISIS is an acronym for "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria", and ISIL is an acronym for "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant"
The overarching organization is IS, or Islamic State, because on of their stated goals is to carve out an...Islamic State.

One of those organizations or sub-organizations may or may not have been behind the events in New Jersey and New York, we do not currently know.
The joke was that it would be "ISNJ", or "Islamic State of New Jersey", if it was actually IS that supported/suggested/encouraged/influenced/instructed/whatever these events.

There is of course that whole thing that some people have about not wanting to actually use the term "Islamic State", because it gives a kinda/sorta legitimacy to that organization, but....meh.

I digress.

Get a sense of humor already.
 
Coordinated with Chelsea?

Yep, most likely.
