Police confirmed that at least three people lost their lives in today's deadly Boston Marathon bomb attack - leaving behind a scene of carnage that brought the specter of terrorism back to American soil.
The FBI, which has taken over the investigation into the outrage which has also injured 141 people announced that they were searching for a man they described as having dark skin, wearing black clothes and a black back-pack who tried to gain entry into a restricted area during the marathon.
It was also reported that he may have had a foreign accent.
And with the victims reportedly ranging from two-years-old to 63-years-old, hospitals across Boston have said that they were removing ball bearings from a large number of the 141 injured in the bomb blasts.

This afternoon at least two people have been killed and up to 141 people have been injured as two bombs exploded almost simultaneously near the finish line of the Boston Marathon today.
It was revealed that an eight-year-old boy was one of the two people confirmed dead - after the twin detonations 12 seconds apart ripped through the cheering crowds lining Boston's streets at around 2.50 p.m

Dave Weigel the faux conservative journ-o-list guy?
Meanwhile a US drone flew over Afganistan and killed a few raghead kids, yet we are suppose to be concerned.
Sorry my give a damn meter broke around 3pm when Sean Hannity came on and gave me the news of the Boston bombing.
Already on facebook someone is posting a pic of an adorable little girl that they “claim” (you guessed it) she was running in honor of the Sandy Hook Victims, to be the child that died. Of course it had already had close to 3000 shares and no place to comment. Absolutely disgusting how the leftist pigs operate.
No! Where did this killing of innocents, happen? I am concerned.
Who is Sean Hannity, your next door neighbor?
On the radio! Sean Hannity!
It was a joke, son, just a joke.
Killing of innocents? No where in afganistan by drones that I am aware of. Just some Hagis.

Nothing to see here move along, move along.
There is a Youtube video that shows a guy in a wheel chair being taken away from the scene and it sure looked to me like the only thing left of his leg(s) was the remains of bone where leg below the knee should have been. Very gruesome sight.
3 people die, 144 injured, more news coverage in 1 day than the entirety of a grisly abortion clinic trial going on for the last... how long now.
Is the injured child more valuable than the injured adults?
It is amazing that the left shrugs off the fact the they have elected a POTUS that associated himself with a domestic terriorist that was willing and able to perpetrate a crime of this nature and it means little. Columbia hires a former terrorist that was inclusive in an orginization that if not curtailed would have the same effect on a major city, but is allowed preferred status among promininate figures.
Instead of the prison they still deserve to reside!
And? Tell us of a real deal; an out an out killing, of non-combatants. Hey, I got one. Guess.
Ping for the answer to that question. (Hint: The first letter is...N)
I knew that, it’s a phrase that Foghorn Leghorn uses on the cartoon.
In keeping the sheeple stirred up they can be.
