Boston Marathon Updates
National Review ^ | 4/15/13 | NRO Staff

Posted on 04/15/2013 4:00:51 PM PDT by Nachum

UPDATE 6:53 p.m. CBS News correspondent John Miller, who is also a former FBI assistant director, says a Saudi national is in fact in custody, is cooperating, and denies involvement.

ABC News is reporting that the devices may have been remotely detonated.

The New York Times reports there may be as many as five devices:

The authorities also found a device at St. James and Trinity Streets that did not explode, the person said, and two other devices were found, including one in Newton, outside of Boston.

UPDATE 6:36 p.m. Multiple sources are reporting than an eight-year-old child is among the dead.

UPDATE 6:25 p.m. Talking Points Memo has called around to Boston-area hospitals. They report between 18-20 people being treated at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, with two in critical condition; 22 being treated at Massachusetts General, with six in critical condition and five in serious condition; and nine being treated at Tufts.

Obama and Hillary will just say it’s man made accidents, not terrorism.

Is it just me, or the fact that it’s Israeli Independence day (aka al-Nakba (”the catastrophe”) in muslim circles) today (really tonight, although I suppose it depends on where you are) too obvious?

The actual reading of the declartion was around 4:00 in the afternoon, I think. What time was this in Boston?

Once again he's scratching up the Resolute Desk. At least he is holding the phone's earpiece correctly this time.

Prayers for the dead and wounded. Prayers for America.

“Let me be clear: This was absolutely, positively NOT ‘terrorism’(unless perpetrated by domestic right-wing extremists of a particular ideological or theological bent, of course)”

(sympathies to the victims & families, but my hackles are UP for this being manipulated like everything else this administration touches)

Someone called into the Howie Carr show and said that an eight year old is one of the dead.

Let’s keep it simple. Find those involved. Kill them, and be quick with it. Kill their families.

End of story......

I feel like I’ve been told to be cautious in what I should believe...That Obama was warning me at that level, from his position and personal perspective....Well, piss on him. The more I’m seeing and hearing, the more my instincts seem to be correct.

Many things are today: Tax Day, Patriot Day, Israeli Independence Day, sinking of the Titanic, 1st Jewish-Arab military battle, arabs defeated (1948), and Federal army (75,000 volunteers) mobilized by President Lincoln.

Busy day in history.

Last Friday was National Grilled Cheese Day. Coincidence?

Looks to be 2:50pm, roughly the time Ben Gurion finished reading the Israeli Declaration of Independence.

Saudis are really, really big on anniversaries.

Logical outcome of failed policy.

Heard this on the Mark Levin show some woman was on and said that those who were injured ? the visitors who came to see their loved ones were told to leave and now allowed in.
And those visitors who were already there with them were told to leave.

Sounds like a cover up ?

The longer they hold back, the more likely it wasn’t whom they hoped had done it.

Somebody took a lot of time and effort placing these bombs and either video or witness testimony will show these acts of terrorism much more clearly. There likely were vide cameras almost everywhere along the route.

Question is, what kind of security pre-marathon was there along the route?

The dailymail says one of the victims was an 8 year old.

Time for the waterboard lobby to slip it into first gear and pop the clutch.
