FRA, when I said it was easier target, I compared it to some closed door event where it would be very difficult for someone to get in with explosives. If someone has to bomb and kill people, then marathon seems to be relatively easier to attack.

hopefully this is a possible lead in the investigation. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_3091189.html

The following was reported by the New York Post this morning, and may or may not be accurate:

Several dead and over 140 injured.

There were 4 bombs in all. Two did not go off for some reason.

The bombs were hidden in garbage cans, which is odd because these are typically removed for an event like this due to exactly this risk. People do not know why they were there.

Really graphic images but worth seeing!
Im not squeamish and I even tensed up so if you are really squeamish it is probably not a good idea for you to view!

Put the blame on his brother, a babyfaced teen like him would never had come up with such a radical idea alone.

I hope that the US justice will do what they have , but let him live to allow some retrospective remorse.

That would be horrible to be wrongfully suspected of such a thing. That's one of the down sides of "crowd-sourcing". But even officials can make the same mistake as they and the media did at first in the bombing in the Atlanta Olympics.

I have to say that officials in this Boston case seemed to handle this situation very well so far.

I'm confused...

You guys should watch this till the end that's scary.
