Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon [W:162, 896, 911]]

Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

What government was targetted today? I missed that angle. What I saw was innocent civilians being targetted, that reeks of cowardly terrorists.

The Centennial Park bombing didn't target any govt but Eric Rudolph didn't take credit for it by calling Al Jazeera, though he did hide in some caves

So....who got first place?
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

But it is random. When domestics groups bomb they look for specific targets as I mentioned before. Putting a bomb in a couple of trash cans.. it's designed to randomly hit people, Not specific people. So there is no 100% chance of hitting your "target" or getting "bang" for your buck. It also sets the difference between pro and amateur.


Not true

Google "Centennial Park bombing"

April 15. Tax due date. In Boston, home of the Boston Tea Party.

The connection is obvious to any American, but it may be a coincidence if the perpetrator is foreign. We'll see.

Looks like they've apprehended a Saudi National per Drudge

Edit> I guess some beat me to it, but is anyone surprised?



Has anyone been tried and convicted yet?
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

I did notice, actually, and the drop began before the explosion.

Thanks - I'm glad - I'd hate to see another terrorist attack affect your economy again, as 9/11 did.

You think the century old Boston Marathon was overshadowed by tax day? Your tea party obsession suffers no restrictions, does it.

Me thinks it is too early to jump to conclusions about the Identity of the purpatraitors but at least we know this was not a accident.

It certainly reeks Right wing extremist. Jihadists are prone to taking credit for their terror. No one claiming responsibility is suspect and the longer it goes unsolved the more it looks domestic.

Why do right wingers hate joggers?
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

One of the dead is an 8 year old girl. What a tragedy.
Damn shame. These bombers don't care who they hurt.
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

Patriot day in Boston? (with added international victim potential) could be anybody...

I think if they show this to be connected to anyone but some domestic fringe group, certain individuals are going to be quite sad that they cannot incorporate this incident into his "meme". Sad isn't it.

I'm thinking it could be a radical progressive left winger :roll:
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

Unfortunately we do not know who did it.
Yeah. I was thinking with it being tax day it could have been someone screwed over by the IRS, or some other severe anti-government radical but those types tend to attack government buildings, terrorists tend to hit civilian targets, but it's too early to know right now.
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon


It will be interesting to see the times the dogs were deployed, the bombs could have been placed after their drill.
I have no idea of a bomb sniffer dogs effectiveness or whether they searched along the route where the bombs were placed.

I've also heard that more undetonated bombs were found? but at the moment news reports appear to contradict eachother concrete facts appear not to have been established.

Forensic analysis of the bombs will likely give answers should this be accurate information.

Did someone mention gunpowder on this thread earlier?

Or a lone wolf/individual cell. At this point it simply reeks. Don't start getting your hopes up....
 
Re: Explosions reported near finish line at Boston Marathon

Terrorist bombing in Boston. So what City is next ?

Terrorist? Or just a crazy guy? I don't think we should fly off the handle here.

Yep. This one could take a while to get answers to, unless someone takes responsibility.
