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.

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 ?

Or are those who were injured being told to say something totally different ? i.e. lie about it.

Is this turning into a major cover up ?

I think it’s more likely that they knew there would be lots of people and tv coverage at the marathon.

UM Coach: Bomb Sniffing Dogs Were at Start, Finish Lines for “Drill”

… University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.

“They kept making announcements on the loud speaker that it was just a drill and there was nothing to worry about,” Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15. “It seemed like there was some sort of threat, but they kept telling us it was just a drill.”

It’s also “HATE SARAH PALIN” day. Of course that’s “celebrated” by liberals every day.

Surely they won’t blow them all up. I imagine a lot more evidence could be gathered from an unexploded bomb.

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

That's democrat double-speak. Kind of the same as Obama initially refusing to say the bombings were an act of terrorism. Eventually he did, but he had to spew the words or face the consequences of Americans who are sick and tired of being Benghasied.

Kill their families? Really? No matter who it is? Remember Eric Rudolph? The guy who did the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing? Should we have killed his family too?

Yeah, but there are more people, densely packed, in an enclosed space, at 7:30am on any given day on the “T.”

This was timed for an anniversary.

Of course there are fingerprints, if the bombmaker was not careful to cover his tracks. The way the device was constructed can provide other clues - who taught the bombmaker, and thus maybe a trail of breadcrumbs.

Anything happen in the US regarding bombings and shootings will be the cause of one person being upset with us. None of it will have to to with terrorism since terrorism doesn’t happen in America. Just individuals PO’d at us.

The perps and/or organizers of this attack were probably there last year and maybe even the year before as part of their planning for what happened today...and who knows, maybe even tomorrow.

Might be standard practice in a situation like this.

In New Jersey a few months ago there were reports of a gunman on the loose not far from a hospital. A friend of mine who was visiting a patient was questioned at the door of the hospital and was not allowed to trsvel in the hospital corridor to the patient's room without a security escort.

Exactly...this is just a blind guess, but if there were 5 or 6 devices and only two went off - "they" may have been trying to have "cascading" explosions set off via cell phones. Once the first couple went off everybody would jump on their own phones and clog up the service...effectively saving some lives.

Having the unexploded ones should be serious evidence for inspectors.

the religion of Islam strike again

however even though there is no connection, the news media and democrats will say that this means law abiding Americans must be stripped of their guns because that was the cause of this attack, the 2nd amendment

The New York Post continues to report at least 12 people dead, while all other media outlets say only 2 are dead. Any insight into this?
