Fox since 1993 Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 3rd device found apparantly lucky that didnt go of
Deucalion Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Al Qaeda? Probably not. Homegrown right-wing nutter? Very possibly. Loyalists from NI? Very long shot. Why Boston? Why a marathon?
Guest Bilo Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 I know, I know, I'm going to hell. But this was my first thought when I heard....
Danno Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Have I really just seen someone on Facebook say that South Korea did it? Jesus wept!
stevelcfc Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Shocking truly shocking, I think it will have been the act of a vile twisted nutter, or perhaps linked to North Korea, thats very unlikely though.

leicsmac Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Al Qaeda? Probably not. Homegrown right-wing nutter? Very possibly. Loyalists from NI? Very long shot. Why Boston? Why a marathon? This doesn't read like a homegrown right-wing nutter. They tend either to know the target intimately (school shooting/bombing) or have a clear political objective (blowing up abortion clinic). But then it doesn't read like Al-Qaeda or another religious nutjob group going for maximum indiscriminate civilian casualties either - I hate to say it, but the death toll would be higher were that the case. So it's an odd one.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Wonder if this will jeopardise London on Sunday
purpleronnie Posted 15 April 2013 Author Posted 15 April 2013 Wonder if this will jeopardise London on Sunday doubt it.
Fox since 1993 Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Does seem to be quite unorganised so it doesnt look like a terroist groups behind it looking like a single nutter
StanSP Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Apparently the families of the Newtown tragedy (school shootings) were sitting in the VIP enclosure right next to the explosion. That makes me feel sick. Does seem to be quite unorganised so it doesnt look like a terroist groups behind it looking like a single nutter How does it seem to be quite unorganised?!
Wycombe Fox Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 At four hours into the race, the majority of those runners would've been fun runners and raising money for charities. I'm dumbstruck. B*stards
theessexfox Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 I water station the London one yearly, not this year, but will be anxious in years to come.
Deucalion Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Shocking truly shocking, I think it will have been the act of a vile twisted nutter, or perhaps linked to North Korea, thats very unlikely though. Well...Kim Yong Un said they would strike at their enemies using 'irregular forces'. This made me think about a terrorist attack. He also said he couldn't guarantee foreign diplomat's safety from 15th April. Still unlikely though. The explosion was quite small, not the work of a big organisation or a state. Not to diminish the impact on those there.
21st Century Fox Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Doesn't look as if they're considering anything but a bombing.... Vice president Biden, in a statement, has referred to a "bombing," not an "explosion," Dan Roberts reports in Washington. "Our prayers are with those people in Boston who have suffered injuries," Biden said. The marathon's organisers have also referred to "bombs". But there is no official confirmation of that from law enforcement agencies yet.
Fox since 1993 Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Seems unoraganised as three bombs made only two went off and only seemed to cause minimal damage thankfully might have just meant to to a warning
theessexfox Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Doesn't look as if they're considering anything but a bombing.... Having found a bomb?
StanSP Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Seems unoraganised as three bombs made only two went off and only seemed to cause minimal damage thankfully might have just meant to to a warning What? That makes no sense. Just cos 2 out of 3 went off doesn't mean it was unorganised.
21st Century Fox Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Having found a bomb? The Guardian were only mentioning the significance of references to "bombings" by Biden and the Boston Marathon facebook page a few minutes ago.
Deucalion Posted 15 April 2013 Posted 15 April 2013 Another one gone off at library? The library is on fire. Two more 'IEDs' found according to CNN.
