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.

Well,
Thank God the STATE DEPT. is all over NATIONAL SECURITY.They are fast-tracking visas for Saudis.
Others also reported it.
A suspect identified and being guarded right now in the hospital.
Unbelievable! The bastard whack radicals can’t mention Al Qeada without saying...”or it might be right wing extremists.” It also might be whack left radicals!!!!
upset about saturday delivery no doubt
Hey, don't compare me to those SOBs! I'm basing my conclusions on sound statistical inference. They aren't.
Have AP, NBC and the New York Times decided it MIGHT be a right winger behind this? They usually come up with that until the police disappoint them with the truth...
0bama is behind it.
Wolf Blitzer is blaming the tea party.
The one at the top of the page catches the marathon explosion live. You can see one runner in mid-street go down immediately...
Absolutely they have, from the usual sources and to be expected from those who despise the GOP and conservatives of all types:

prayer is needed, and also comfort, how much more will it take? how long will it have to take for terrorism to end? i hope it will, but the reality is that it wont. there will always be those out there trying to push the limits, only the rapture will stop violence, only temporarily... and please correct me if im wrong
ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!! Can you hear my anger through this post? SOB’s speeding up VISAS for those terrorists, right before this happens? Conspiracy or what?
I have heard “homegrown.” That usually means right wing.
Lol. Sad stuff out there but thankful for a little joke right now.
“Have they blamed white Christian Tea Party members yet?”
Not yet. And if turns out to be anybody but a white man, the Marxist Media will label it the work of a lone madman or this will simply drop out of the news altogether.
Hmmm, will they now try to ban explosives.... Oh heck there are already laws controlling explosives... Kind of like guns... But this happened... how can that be, it must be those people that have explosives legally... We need more explosives laws... Must be Bush’s fault... /Sarc.
