Sounds like what's been going on in cities in India. Multiple bombs in various places throughout the city.
Not all went off though as they were able to find and detonate them.

The library fire was mechanical. Nothing untoward.

Your so right. Terrorism does not know any boundaries, and we have home grown terrorists right here at home, wanting to do harm to Americans.

Just take the politics away from this horrible tragedy right now, this is a human tragedy and senseless at that.

I just hope they figure out sooner then later, who is responsible and until we know for sure all pertinent facts and factual information released, we should not specualte for our specualtions might be way off base.

Argue about politics disagree with each other, does not make this Country any more safer does it.

From the videos I've seen, the explosion (or one of them) took place behind or under the stands, right next to the finish line.

Hard to believe that a vehicle with a bomb could get in there without being stopped and inspected.

Only other thing, it seems to me, is a person with a suicide bomb belt under his clothes.

If so, there won't be much left to put on trial. But could he have operated alone? Where did he get the explosives? Who, if anyone, helped him?

How do you know a man was responsible for this?

Bin Laden is dead, apparently tossed into the ocean if you buy that story. A new boogyman needs to be created. This time homegrown. Kiss what rights you have left goodbye. You aint seen nothing yet.

Anybody trying to pin this action without facts on a group they don't like is just a sick individual.
You've got that right.

For the first time ever, my daughter decided to work on Marathon Monday. She's safe in Cambridge at the moment. It's crazy the hate some people have for those they've never met. This was a cowardly act regardless of the reasoning of the person or persons responsible.
