WASHINGTON — The FBI is taking charge in the criminal investigation of the explosions at the Boston Marathon.

The announcement came Monday night at a news conference in Boston whose participants included Richard DesLauriers, the agent in charge of the FBI in Boston.

Also on Monday night, the FBI said it had set up a phone line for members of the public to call with information about the explosions to contact the law enforcement agency. The call-in number is 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), prompt (hash)3.

“No piece of information or detail is too small,” the FBI said in urging the public to respond.

I think they used claymores:

M18 Claymore mine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M18_Claymore_mine

Anyone with direct experience with them? I talked to an X-Army buddy of mine who was around them in Vietnam who had explosive experience, but did not use Claymores.

Another clue was the color of the explosion. Some of the photo’s showed a pink hue to the explosion. Not sure what explosive would do that.

The FBI stood up to the Obama people on Benghazi - they might be the ‘good guys’ in this mess.

Katherine Boudin was one of their friends. She threw butyric acid into the lobby of a hotel during the 1968 Chicago Democratic convention. She escaped when a Greenwich Village town house blew up in the early 1970s because of the home-made bomb factory in it. Several of her comrades were killed. I have Bill Ayers’s book in which he writes about this. She was on the run, and in late 1981 she engaged in a Brinks-type holdup that left three guards dead. She was given a long prison sentence. She has been released and she is now teaching at Columbia University in NYC. Prior to her 1981 arrest, she had been on the run. She had a three-year-old son, Chesa, who was then reared by Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn

Or they might do what they did with the Kenneth Michael Trentadue investigation.

Boston FBI has a history of being corrupt. No confidence whatsoever that they are capable of handling this in a competent manner. The Gardner Heist comes to mind ... if you're not familiar with this Boston event try Google.

If you want to protect somebody, call the Secret Service. If you want foreign intelligence, call the CIA or NSA. If you want a press conference, call the FBI.

Remember, Butch Napolitano said we are safer than we have ever been. She’s out there buying 1.6 billion rounds of ammo to use on Americans and for guards at the FEMA camps, but no one is watching the borders. Butch is just another one of the Food Stamp President’s failed cabinet appointments.

That pink hue is the vaporized mist of human remains.
The claymor is a directional anti-personnel mine, used for ambushes.

I noticed several buildings near the explosion still had their windows intact. Makes me think it was shrapnel bomb rather than a blast one.

I doubt it. The FBI once had a good reputation, but it has been just a tool for the Progressives since Slick Willy.

I’m thinking maybe simultaneous explosions caused by static electricity in half empty fuel tanks.

Reports of projectile shape is said to be round steel & lead balls.

The photo with wounds I have seen indicated ball injury not shrapnel.

That makes sense. If you look at the blast, it is pretty large. I have never seen a claymore detonated. Have heard about pink mist claymores.

They are set up to remote detonate or use trip wire, infared or laser.

You could probably search for what type mine the Iranians have which is similar to a claymore. Or maybe the N. Koreans.

Very Fishy indeed. What did they know and when did they know it? Another false flag?

Better beef up the DHS and ATF.
