From the Telegraph (UK): "On its website The Wall Street Journal is quoting unnamed officials as saying that a total of five undetonated devices have been found in the Boston area."

This is an unthinkable horror. I'm sure President Obama and Congress will immediately set to work passing new legislation aimed at restricting the availability of bombs, so our athletes and children can run marathons without the evil spectre of this horror hanging over their tender, innocent heads.

Maybe we need a new legal classification of "Assault Bombs." I'm sure that would help, too.

Maybe this is what it will take for people to stop littering.

Hopefully they’ll find something in Chelsea.

Well I can’t imagine a “lone nut” doing seven.

Counterterrorism officials are idiots. They spend a dozen years groping U.S. citizens including little old ladies and babies at airports while the Islamic terrorists ignore them and continue plying their trade at will elsewhere.

"All federal resources that can be brought to bear will be brought to bear. And we bring to bear."

"I want to bring to bear one of my female colleagues...."

"All our resources will be brought to bear..."

As horrific as this day was if those additional bombs had gone off this could have been even worse. Thank God they were found in time and detonated

The piece of chelief, Ed Davis,seems to be one of the grownups in response to this mess.

Update (backing off):

Counterterrorism officials found five additional suspect devices, but a law-enforcement official said late Monday that investigators now doubt the devices were bombs.

Two people briefed on the investigation said officials initially believed that the five additional devices could be undetonated explosives. Later Monday, a law-enforcement official said subsequent closer examinations led investigators to doubt that they were bombs.
