Quote: Eglman wrote in post #47Update: Boston PD is giving a presser now, and the commissioner’s making it sound like the explosion at the library was also a bomb. That’s three in total; he says they haven’t found other devices. Meanwhile, another detail from that Post report on the suspect:
In addition, Boston police have has surveillance video of someone bringing multiple backpacks to blast site, according to CBS News.
If these bombers were smart there will be more explosions in the following hours and days. Already planted by someone that is long gone.
Thank God usuallly they aren't that bright.
What?

UPDATE: Police are backtracking on whether the JFK incident involved an explosion. On Twitter they're saying it appears to have been a fire.
UPDATE: Now authorities are backtracking about whether cell phone service has been shut down. (You can see why I'm being careful about some of the gossip showing up on Twitter.)
UPDATE: President Barack Obama will be speaking at 6 p.m. EST about the incident.

I doubt it Frank the State Dept gives those things out like candy and don't bother to do background checks and then point at them selves and claim that they do out-reach work
He didn't but it isn't his style to make rash statements like that before a full investigation. Three bombs and an arrest isn't sufficient evidence for this dork.
Remember Benghazi? That's still being investigated don't you know?
This is how you handle bad news with a short attention span population and a cooperative media.
Obfuscate and it will all blow over.

"The Republican Party doesn't demonize prosperity. We celebrate success in our party," he said. "And let me be clear, if Republican leaders want to join this president in demonizing success and disparaging conservative values, then they're not going to be fit to be our nominee."
Update: Eight-Year-Old Child Killed In Boston Terror Attack, At Least 132 Injured, 17 Are In Critical Condition, 8 Are Children…
Just awful.
Via WBZ:
An eight-year-old child is one of at least two people killed when a pair explosions tore through crowds at the Boston Marathon. Dozens were injured when two blasts erupted near the finish line in downtown Boston. A thick cloud of white smoke billowed into the air as rescue crews rushed to the scene.
Via CNN:
At least 132 people – including eight children – have been injured in the bombings, according to Boston-area hospitals. Boston police earlier said that two people were killed.
At least 17 of the injured are in critical condition, and at least 25 are in serious condition, area hospitals said.
A witness, Marilyn Miller, told CNN that she was about 30 feet away from the first bomb when it went off. The second bomb came about 12 seconds after and about 50 to 100 yards away from the first, according to authorities and an analysis of video from the site.
