My guess is they know almost exactly what group of people were responsible for this. They found and disassembled two bombs, and by doing that you can basically tell what the exact goal of the bomb was and who did it given the materials used.

you sure? i guess you could get intent but that might not narrow it down

[Tetris]

Where are you guys seeing this leg?! I've watched every single video

[dorkdotdan]

Oh and don't forget about the Olympic Park Bombing. They thought richard Jewell was guilty and forgot about it for 5 years until they found the real guy.

I have a feeling that might happen again.

Don't ostracize the first possible suspect you hear.

you sure? i guess you could get intent but that might not narrow it down

You could get pretty damn close I think.

That's who terrorists should be killing.
WBC instead of innocent people.

Why would North Korea target a marathon with only 100 or so victims? If I were NK, I'd try to get something much bigger like the empire state building or something.

uhm

[Freeze]

assuming it wasnt nk (it probably wasnt) this would probably be a good (or er... bad) time for them to strike since so many forces are being used in other places atm

[Comatose]

You people are idiots for thinking it's North Korea, please bomb kill yourselves.

Secondly, update from Boston, our hotel is now in lock down.

Good to know we have someone on the ground. Where are you and what's going on?

I thought I'd provide some more information. As of 5:35 Eastern Standard Time;

• Approximately an hour after the initial two bombings, a small fire broke out at the John F. Kennedy Library. It is unconfirmed if it is related to the event on Boylson street.
• There are approximately 100+ people injured, 23 critically. Two are dead. Most injuries are orthopedic and include traumatic amputations.
• The Boston 'T' transit system has been shut down in the immediate area, and many facilities in the city of Boston have been evacuated including the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
• Counter-terrorism units have been deployed to the following cities, as well as many others. If you see increased law enforcement in these cities, do not be alarmed. The cities are as follows: New York, NY; Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia, PA; Baltimore, MD; Los Angeles, CA.
• There have since been multiple low flashpoint devices found.
• Google has created a Person Finder to locate individuals and to provide information. If you have any information on this event on a person of interest, please go here.

EDIT: The Boston Bruins game versus the Ottawa Senators at the TD Center has been cancelled. Infomation regarding person of interest has been removed, cannot be confirmed. President Obama will address the nation at 6:10 PM Eastern Standard Time on all major news networks.

EDIT 2: According to the [REDACTED], a person of interest has been identified and is under guard at Boston Hospital. More information will be provided as it comes in.

EDIT 3: Cellular service has been shut down in the Boston area. There are conflicting reports on the number of casualties; there may be up to twelve dead, but this is unconfirmed. This has been called a terrorist incident.

EDIT 4: EDIT 2 is now null and void; Boston law enforcement has confirmed that a 20-year old Saudi individual is not a person of interest. An eyewitness has reported he witnessed the epicenter of the explosion originating from a trash bin. Addendum: The JFK Library fire is supposedly not related.
