Bomb explosion in Boston ?

Does anyone know who actually won the race though?

I hear it was close, won by a nose (then and ear, a finger followed by a leg)

I don't know either, but I've heard that the marathon at the 2017 Paralympics will be the most competitive of all time.

It's all been happening over the last few hours..

reports of shootings of a MIT guard and shootings in a town half way between MIT and boston (watertown)

FBI have released photos of 2 people wanted in connection with the bombings

people on reddit making the connection that the shootings are between 2 middle eastern looking people and police with Sunil Tripathi confirmed as one of those involved who also links to the FBI photo and went missing 2 months ago leaving behind explosives, assumed suicide and Mike Mulugeta also suspected has been killed

so, is it now looking like an inhouse american right wing nutter(s) job, or are the crowd now supposing it could be external terrorist linked?

and the "it's an inhouse state made operation" are already on the defence, note the date in the picture

Reads like the musings of an attention seeking fantasist to me.

I agree, they claim they were at work. Surely they would now be unemployed?

I think it will just be an unstable person who is responsible, and wouldn't be surprised if the shooting at MIT was linked as it occured just after the photo was releases so the suspect knew they were close to being caught.

I am confident however that the Obama administration will spin it to his advantage after his loss over yesterdays vote on gun control

And so he should. The horse has bolted and is over the next hill on US gun control. I don't begrudge him for trying to do the right thing though.

Did anyone hear Obama's speech yesterday ? He seemed to have a bit of a whistle going on at the end of certain words

[NickFitz]

The FBI photos of the suspects show them as suspiciously non-Muslim-looking. Surely that can't be right

reports quoting Boston Police Dept police scanners stating the two names of Sunil Tripathi (arrested) and Mike Mulugeta (dead) are the MIT gunmen and the 2 suspects in the Boston Bombings
