Fox reporting two more explosive devices found and being dismantled.
Of course, we’ve had several attempts in the past where the explosive devices didn’t go off, notable the Times Square attempt. Not the best bomb makers, thankfully. Might be a hint as to who was involved today.
Yes it sounds like wantabe jihadist that didn’t get enough explosive training. I hope they had some cameras or something to help catch the guy.
As other posters have said, if they were using cell phones, they might not have been able to get through to the other devices to set them off. They might have succeeded with the second one, but if my hypothesis is correct, decided to hightail it out of there.
I am about 10 miles from Boston right now, and I know it was swamped and calls couldn’t get connected nearly immediately, though repeated tries worked. I work with a woman who tried for about an hour, and just managed to connect with her daughter a few minutes ago who works over on Newbury street, just a couple of streets over.
