AP: BREAKING: Two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon result in injuries
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Boston fire reporting that retired firefighter Craig Andrews has died. Ladder 11 Boston FD. RIP
Don’t forget that Obama and the dems just got through passing some bill to make it easier for foreign Saudi nationals to fly to US! The left is all over Twitter and the MSM blaming conservatives and way too many conservatives on Twitter are saying not to get ‘political’ in response to their smears. I am sorry..but this is war! I have had enough of the leftists crap!
(Just ranting) here we have a terrorist bombing, people dead and all the left can do is try to lay the ground work once again to falsely blame the Tea Party or the right. Sick of it!!
I hardly have any time to freep anymore- but the instant I learned about this I came here knowing there would be the best coverage here.
I just read a bomb was found in Newton which is an affluent close-in Boston suburb. It’s a hell of a stretch for me to have an AlQ guy leave a bomb in a suburb. Crazy. I had this awful feeling it’s an insane domestic, you know, like a nutty husband who has a wife that got restless, started running as a hobby and then left him...etc...etc...
(I know my imagination got carried away)
Peter King on O’Reilly thinking it’s islamists..
Truth is we don’t know. Could be an American nut or a Jihadi team. Of course, a number of these suspicious devices won’t be bombs at all. They were finding them all over London after the Tube bombings and all were false alarms or reports. If there were four or five devices and one perp that is a pretty tall order to pull off. This has a long way to go.
After 9/11 we knew in three hours all 19 hijackers. Time will tell.
We also didn't have a Muslim Resident and a Muslim Brotherhood presence in the White House.

From twitter feed.
Scanner feed says they have an Arabic man in custody acting agitated(I think at airport)??..seeking translators. Not sure if it is related....just passing it on.
Interesting...
I just don’t have a gut on this yet..I THINK it’s islamists..but just don’t feel secure about it.
(GOOD to see you pen!)
Press conference coming up at 8:30. We normally don’t learn much at them except how self-congratulatory officials are..
Watching Fox 25 Boston heavily armed SWAT team at Brigham & Women's Hospital. Live coverage - SWAT arrived approx 15 mins ago.
Any ideas?
Is that the hospital that has the military duffle bag left unattended. They didn’t have enough bomb teams at the time to deal with it. They sent a bomb dog instead...
Could just be final clean-up on the matter.
Great to see you too! Been missing everybody.
Scanner saying they have some more video evidence...hmmm. I hope we get the truth no matter what it is, but I have my doubts with the folks in charge. They already know way more than they are saying. Most of the scanner traffic has been taken offline now.

Reason for lockdown at Brigham & Women's: "abundance of caution," Boston Police tell @NECN. Keeping track of who goes in, who goes out.
Not yet but it could be to guard facility where the Saudi national of interest is being treated. But just a guess.
Part of the marathon route goes thru Newton, so it would sadly fit the terrorists MO to plant bombs along the route if they wanted simultaneous explosions.
First Time poster long time lurker. My question is being a boston native. Is why at 2:45 and why not when the first runners were running threw. If you wanted to make a statement why not on live TV. Knowing this was on live TV in Boston area. and not the rest of the nation. Also there would have been way more people there at that time, at the end of the race. Then when the bombs did go off at the time they did. Just some questions. Pray for the dead and wounded.
Police searching Penske truck leaving area at scene.
Navy bomb unit sent to Boston - the only active duty military sent there, @starsandstripes reports.
No idea. Good questions though.
