When I called BCPD they said that they hadn't even heard of the incident.


It seems both of these subjects have just been swept under the rug.
b/c they report what they are told to report, and they don't want to start a panic, and have wall street go for another deep dive....that is what the terrorists want to happen.
I find it very strange, actually funny, that all day yesterday, they reported that the JFK library had been bombed also, but then much later said, it was an explosion from something else, and nothing more was said about it????????

This government is not going to tell us everything, b/c they don't want to start a panic....

NYT Source: Saudi Person Of Interest Not Involved In Attack...

Late Monday night, law enforcement officials descended on an apartment building in the suburb of Revere, about five miles north of Copley Square, linked to a man the police took into custody near the scene of the bombings. But on Tuesday morning, one law enforcement official said investigators had determined that the man, who was hurt in a blast and was questioned at the hospital, was not involved in the attack.

Not really...the wonder of the internet is that you can find out how to do just about anything, from knitting to making a pipe bomb.

my sister just text me the same thing, she thinks whomever did this learn how to make the devices from the internet.

I was hoping for a "signature device" but being such a rustic one, it could be really anyone.

Here's a couple of live blogs of the coverage.

Boston Marathon bombs: live

Boy dies waiting to watch Dad cross the finish line as bombs blast Boston Marathon

This feed had this entry included...

7.39am AEST: CBS news reports Boston police as having confirmed they have video of someone bringing several backpacks to the blast site.

... which verifies a separate anecdotal account ...

From a cop friend in Boston–
A former partner says there was a reporter at the hospital in Boston. She overheard police saying they have video of the suspect dropping bombs into the garbage cans.

POTENTIAL TERRORIST USE OF PRESSURE COOKERS - Dept. of Homeland Security

--------------------------------------

The Associated Press is reporting that the Boston explosives were in 6-litre pressure cookers and placed in black duffel bags.

They were told that the explosives were placed on the ground and contained shards of metal, nails and ball bearings.

The person says law enforcement officials have some of the bomb components but did not yet know what was used to set off the explosives."

They were an organized group. I don't think this will prove true for what happened in Boston though.

Finding fragments and tracing their acquisition will help trace the maker.
