I’d like to know if or when this is confirmed.
Could you or someone ping me regarding, “Found what they believed were five additional, undetonated explosive devices around the Boston area.”
Thanks!
If they had been great, don’t you think the route would have been scanned by police dogs ahead of time and the entire Marathon called off.
They were good, but not great.
Any excuse for a tyrant.
Thanks for your answer.
Certainly.
I see.
Even if that were true, it would never, ever be allowed out past Holder. If it were leaked, it would be denied and anyone promoting such ideas would be viciously attacked - ie. standard leftist doctrine.
It is just my theory, but the ball bearing signature gives a strong indication of who is behind the bomb making. Most domestic bombmakers would use nuts or nails from Home Depot, because they are so easily available. Ball bearings effective enough in a bomb need to follow a design that has been developed by people who know how to use them. I am not sure a novice will know how to do it right. The Islamic terrorists have lots of experience and they know what design works best. The nature of those bombs in Boston came from people who have experience making them. That experience sure paid of and that is why I suspect someone with Islamic terrorist experience made them.
you are correct, assuming the devices relied on cell phones for detonation (why not timers?)
New York’s the number one target and they know it. 9/11 was a multicity attack where NYC was ground zero and the whole country wrnt into high alert.
They’re just doing their job and trying to keep people safe. Jeesh!
If memory serves, there were several duds in Madrid train bombings of 11 March 2004. Taking them apart, investigators found cell-phones rigged as timers, and the SIM cards led to the perps.
Can someone explain this picture to me... how can this guys clothing be shredded without seeing any major wounds on his body? Could this be one of the bombers?

Reportedly, the networks got overloaded when everybody tried to make calls at once. Similar thing happened in the 9/11 attacks.
The injuries inflicted also suggest that the bomb may have been a shaped charge design (like a claymore) that directed the force of the blast in a low, fan- shaped pattern. I have some projectiles from a Viet Cong anti-personnel mine that are pieces of steel reinforcing rod cut up with a bolt cutter. Those were wicked.
If it can save just one runner’s life, marathons mustl be banned.
Why do you assume Boston is the only target for terror today or any other day?
Been on the local news all day that cell towers in the neighborhood were shut down.
“Only two out of seven went off. We can probably rule out al-Qaeda. They are pros. If they had planted seven, all seven would have gone off.”
Like the shoe bomber?
If the mainstream media is bound and determined to seek out “hero’s” and predictably they will be. Then how about the kid in flip-flops elevating the victims legs? Or the kid in the baseball hat rendering comfort? Or the guy in the cowboy hat wheeling the wheelchair? (That’s all unlikely, no praise for the government there.)
When it matters, it’s down to you and maybe the person next to you. The mainstream media’s hero’s show up later.
Anyway, you all knew that.
