The JFK bomb was not a controlled detention.

Two Finish line bombs
One controlled demolition
Two further dismantlings
One JFK explosion

Six devices. This is cold and very calculated.
 
Been watching it on Sky news...shocking stuff, thoughts and prayers are with everyone effected...

So the JFK Library explosion, was that not a police controlled demolition? If so, we are looking at six devices, by my calculations.

It's only four comfirmed right now. Three detonated and one found that was dismantled. The one at JFK may have been a fire bomb of some kind or accidental fire.

Good lord. I seriously wonder who is behind this. I don't want to point a finger at North Korea but I wonder....

Agreed.

Speculations now the JFK incident. Police say it was a bomb, employees say it a molotov cocktail.

Yup. The library (Boston) at the finish line is not the JFK (correct?) as the JFK is a little distance away. A bomb was destroyed by a controlled explosion opposite the library (Boston), so I guess that's very close to the first explosion, possibly a bomb intended to for the first people of the scene?

Doesn't seem like there style. They like to openly show aggression but "controlled"aggression with a back door route out.

Can't see them going to this length only to keep quiet about it. Going from Nuke warheads to this doesn't add up.

I bet who ever is responsible will own up soon. If they haven't already made the phone call.
 
Police have apparently arrested a black male as main suspect with these events.

It could very well be none of the well-known terrorists and rather some nutcase(s) with access to firepower.

I think if it was NK there'd be a lot more than 2 confirmed dead.

I say it's a possibility. If this was NK, they would have to a daisy chain of orders and people. Who's to say this went as planned? I've been wondering why a bomb two hours after the first runner finished. If you want maximum damage, why not then. This was either a flawed design or the work of an amatuer.

Good to hear.

Officials said with just a bit more juice those bombs could have easily killed hundreds of people. I don't think it's NK honestly but it makes you wonder.
 
I don't think it's NK or Mid-East terrorists. This, although not a small deal, sounds and looks like amateur stuff. Seasoned terrorists would have used bigger bombs, and would have detonated them at the time when there were more people.
 
"Boston PD commissioner Ed Davis confirms there was a third incident at the JFK Library, several miles from Copley Square. There were no injuries. (A library spokesperson says it was a fire in the mechanical room.)

An official tells the AP that cell phone service in downtown Boston has been shut off or limited to prevent detonations of any undiscovered devices."

Yes that can't be ruled out. Internal civil disputes.
 
You know the last mile of the marathon was dedicated to the victims of the Sandyhook massacre in Conneticut..and when the Vice-president was informed of the explosions he was taking a conference call with gun actavites..

Get real. It's not North Korea. More likely, it's a group like al qaeda saying, "Hey, don't forget about us," etc., if it's international. After all the things we've done and continue to do (Libya, Syria, etc.), you can bet there are people out there that are still pretty incensed. They don't forget.

Could be domestic in origin too. Hell, we saw someone shoot an elementary school so this is not outside the imagination as horrible as that may seem.

Most of the damage seems to be shrapnel wounds. Thank goodness the bomber didn't have ultra high explosives.
 
The unexploded bomb(s) will tell the experts a lot. The amount of law enforcement brain power now brought to bear on this, and until they make an arrest, is staggering. No expense will be spared, no lead too small not to follow up on it. Rewards offered, etc.
The pea-brains who pulled this off have no idea how tenacious their pursuers are or the resources they've got.

Or a small group of terrorists, with crudely made bombs. Kind of like the Al-Qaeda wannabe's.

Proof? That's quite the statement.

I'm not blaming it on NK. Purely speculation.
 
I wouldn't be so sure about it being Al-Qaeda - anyone remember Anders Breivik and Timothy McVeigh?

Two went off, another which was opposite the JFK library (is that not near where the first bomb went off?) was reportedly destroyed with a controlled explosion. Then two others have been found and disabled.

The JFK Library is about 4 miles away from the Finish Line for the Boston Marathon.

Its pretty far across town, so the JFK Library is not near the Finish Line at all. Strange if the two incidents are related since they aren't really that close together.
