Police are telling people in vicinity of explosions to NOT use cellphones, as these could set off other explosive devices.

ABC reporting that no radiation appears to be associated with these bombs.

An earlier reporter on scene said that there was evidence of shotgun pellets from at least one of the explosions.

The timing of this is very strange. It appears from the video the bombs went off around 2:04 in Boston. The race starts now at 10:00 am but it used to start at noon up until a few years ago. If the race had started at the old time the winner would have been expected to cross the line at around 2:04. Could the bomber not known that the time has changed?

Prayers for all the victims.

Me, my wife and two grandchildren were in that candy store, Sugar Heaven, 24 hours before the bomb went off in front of it.
