12 dead, dozens more injured after two explosions rock Boston marathon finish line
New York Post ^ | April 15, 2013 | POST STAFF REPORT

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 told The Post there are at least 12 dead and twice as many injured. Fox News reported that Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 10 people with amputated limbs and all operating rooms were on hold.

Law-enforcement sources said at least the first explosion occurred in the lobby of the Fairmont Hotel.

"There were two bombs that exploded near the finish line in today's Boston Marathon," The Boston Marathon's official Facebook page read. "We are working with law enforcement to understand what exactly has happened."

“This changes everything [in New York],’’ one source told The Post. “Everyone’s on high alert. Our marathon was canceled in November. Who knows if that changed someone’s plans?’’

The State Department is planning to welcome thousands of immigrants from terror-watch list countries into the United States this year through a “diversity visa” lottery — a giant legal loophole some lawmakers say is a “serious national security threat” that has gone unchecked for years. Ostensibly designed to increase ethnic diversity among immigrants, the program invites in thousands of poorly educated laborers with few job skills — and that’s only the beginning of its problems, according to lawmakers and government investigations.

what could go wrong?

No kidding.
DHS and their VIPER squad was probably inspecting some poor old ladie’s colostomy bag while trying to get on a bus.
Damn this government sucks bad!,

Prayers up. It’s also too damned late to start asking where the F was Janet Incompetano and the rest of her Department????

In fairness to her, if the plotters are even minimally competent (which is a big assumption for some), there is no way any law enforcement agency can find out about their schemes before they occur.

IED’s come to the streets and roadways of the United States....

This was too co-ordinated to be mere “coincidence”, coming as it did in the home town of SecState Jean-Francois Kerre`.

Gas explosion, yeah, that’s it, that’s what happened.

Kim Jong Un got in a pre-emptive strike.

Or the Muslim Brotherhood.

You are not the only one....the government will use this to take more of our rights

Instead of trying to take our guns and give Illegal Aliens amnesty....its time to seal the border and ensure full 2d Amendment rights to Americas

You are correct.
However, if they would leave regular Americans alone and focus on real actual threats it would give them a better chance at stopping this $h!t!
But sadly that’s not their goal.

Apparently Biden’s first act was to call anti-gun groups.

He should be facing some consequences for making that statement... but he won’t.
