ThE PERPETRATOR or perpetrators behind the two bombs that exploded within a few seconds of each other near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon are still unknown. But there are working theories. Terrorists often plan their strikes on anniversaries and commemorative dates. Yesterday marked both a patriotic holiday in Massachusetts and Israel Independence Day, which raises the possibility of Islamic terrorism. April 15 is also the deadline for filing federal taxes, which suggests the possibility of homegrown, anti-tax extremists. The pathological possibilities abound at this point.
The Marathon is an uplifting event. It is also a made-for-terrorism event. The presence of live television crews ensures that the evil deed will be broadcast almost immediately throughout the world. Reports indicate that at least three people died as a result of the explosions and at least 140 were injured, some horribly.
The image of the dead and wounded will be burned into the memory of Americans for decades to come.....

Oh?
Like the 9/11 folks?
This has been denied.
Divide ans Conquer still works...
Or they messed up and pressed the wrong speed dial number...
Yes, they are desperate.
If someone wants to commemorate an event, they get the date right.
From a terrorist standpoint, there is no shortage of 'soft' targets, but it would be likely that a politically-motivated event-commemorating attack would attack an agency or specific people involved in the event commemorated.
Curious that it has. The tally went from one unexploded device last night to a total of five, and now they have all evaporated.
I think there is a lot of misinformation out there done to confound the public and the enemy. I think one should listen to common sense. Of course, a twenty year old, whether an enemy or a US kid, may not be endowed with sufficient common sense to make an effective bomb.
My bad
TO tell you the truth, I"m not quite ready to start taking out random agents of Fedzilla myself, but I sure don't feel quite as bad about it when I hear of such things than I once would.
I would not be surprised. You’ll never hear the media bring it up.
Part of me would love to see a video released tomorrow by the perosn behind it stating this as the reason and explicitly blaming Obama and his drone policy and leaving no doubt whatsoever that Obama is directly responsible.
Would be very interesting to see how the media responds.
Interestingly, that was also roughly the plot of Homeland/.
Pan Am 103 was a direct retaliation for Reagan’s attack on Ghadaffi.
Reagan also cut and ran from Beirut, an event explcitly mentioned by Bin Laden and others as motivation for future terror attacks, including 9/11.
I think we need to be honest about everyone.
I stand corrected. Thought Libya bombing came after Pan Am 103.
Oh?
I thought this went extinct YEARS ago!
