Terrorist? Or just a crazy guy? I don't think we should fly off the handle here.
The date and place hardly appear to be random: it's April 15 in Boston. But we'll see.
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.
That too, lot's of factors and a public event with lots of cover. Too many variables for anyone to make any kinds of guesses right now.Or it could be some madman with knowledge in explosive making.
Aren't terrorists kinda by definition crazy?
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?
Google's Crisis Response team created a "Person Finder" tool to help marathon runners, their families and friends, and spectactors keep track of each other and quickly share information about people they know, Google spokeswoman Susan Cadrecha said. The web address is Google Person Finder: Boston Marathon Explosions.
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.

I'll simply state there is a JFK Federal Building in Boston.. which houses the IRS. IRS or Marathon which makes a bigger statement on Tax day?

Canine bomb detectors do not work continuously. After a short while, their nose tires out, so it is possible the bombs were brought in after the dogs had been used

Thank you for being consistantI'll agree that it looks like some kind of extremist(s) did this.
Until the trial(s) over with, that's as far as I'm going to go.
From the direction of the blasts it looked like a statement. I don't think the runners were the target but rather the spectators, though the bomber probably would have taken a few runners as a "bonus". The person who planted would have to know that the concussive force of the blast would be absorbed by the crowd so I am pretty sure they were the primary target.I thought the joggers had already crossed the finish line by the time the bombs went off? If the culprit was targeting the marathon would he be targeting the joggers?

You forgot Fort Hood. But your suppose to forget Fort Hood, it was just violence in the workplace according to Obama as the Islamist yelled "Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar" as he murdered 13 and wounded another 30.
