Utterly appalling.
Lets hope security is on full alert for the London marathon. Nik. |
Two dead, at least 22 injured.
|
:(
|
I've got Sky News and BBC News 24, it's going to go around and around on a loop for ever.
|
It can be a sick and twisted world at times :(
|
Shocking stuff.
Guess we'll find out soon enough if it was terrorists or another weirdo. I expect security will be even tighter for the funeral on Wednedsay now. |

Where does it say that?
Sky news showing still right now of second explosion. In the background you can see smoke from the first, looks like same side though. Another explosion at a Library apparently. 5 miles away. |
just got told about the explosions i thought it was koreans till i saw the news
looks like the usual suspects again fuckin cowards |
Have they not said the bomb(s) are likely to be home made jobbies, ie some nutter rather than terrorist?
|
1oo injured. CNN is far better then sky n NBC news.

New York Post online:
BOSTON — Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts. A federal law-enforcement source confirmed to The Post there are at least 12 dead and nearly 50 injured. Fox News reported that Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 10 people with amputated limbs and all operating rooms were on hold. Authorities have a identified a suspect, a Saudi national, who is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital with shrapnel wounds. Law-enforcement sources said at least the first explosion occurred in the lobby of a nearby hotel. AUTHORITIES ID SUSPECT IN MARATHON BOMBINGS NEW YORK INCREASES SECURITY FOLLOWING MARATHON EXPLOSIONS PHOTOS: EXPLOSIONS ROCK BOSTON MARATHON EXPLOSIONS CAUSE UK TO REVIEW MARATHON SECURITY "There were two bombs that exploded near the finish line in today's Boston Marathon," The Boston Marathon's official Facebook page read.

Not good.

Obama has said the culprits will feel the full weight of America.
My money is on, they blame North Korea !!!! |

I was wondering whether this had North Korean origins, given all the threats recently.
|
Do oany of you really think we will ever find out who is truly behind this? The US will tell us it's whoever they want it to be. They are probably tossig up between the old enemy of Al Qaeda and the new kids on the block of NK!
|
Or Iran
|
Bloke on Sky News suggested 'Anti-Abortion' groups. :rolleyes:
|
Have you seen some of the images - shocking to say the least.
People missing limbs |
From CNN
(CNN) -- The Pakistani Taliban denied any involvement in a double bombing at the Boston Marathon that killed at least three people, spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan said Wednesday. "Wherever we find Americans we will kill them, but we don't have any connection with the Boston Explosions," Ihsan said. Oh, so that's alright then. |
