Heard from my friends running they are all ok

One of them was at the 41 km marker when the bomb went off, rough estimate she was 6-8 mins from the finish

So glad she had a crappy run, normally she finishes in about 4.00 - 4.10

We have been watching it this morning. From what we have herd they have a suspect who was carrying multiple bags and that there were quite a few injured and a few killed.

I don't know who is there but luckily marathons would have multiple health emergency people available.

sure lives were saved because of this, at the finish line of any marathon is a small army of volunteer Drs and medics, normally they deal with cramps and at worst dehydration, exhaustion - today sadly they had to triage bomb blast victims

The fact is no one knows if this was a foreign or domestic attack. Never jump to conclusions.

Sad day.

No leap just making the comparison. How to inflict the most injuries. Has been the MO of terrorists for a long time, no matter the origin.

Don't take this the wrong way Fred, but the idea is to strike terror. Tickling someones feet usually dosen't cut it.

day later and still in shock something like this can happen so close to me.....and yet we (US citizenry) bitched about having security cameras everywhere, and in the end they may help find the person(s) associated with this heinous act

Sick bastards. We need to start hitting their home countries hard or it will never end. Close the damn borders and start deporting those who are here on visas for BS reasons.

Detectives last night raided a home in Boston in connection with the explosions at yesterday's marathon which killed three and injured more than 150.

Authorities are still unsure who was behind the blasts - which have been described as small, home-made devices - but have a number of leads which they are following.

Agents, including the FBI and bomb disposal officers, swooped on an apartment in the suburbs of the city after a man, said to be of Saudi origin, was arrested at the scene..

The 20-year-old suspect is under police guard in hospital, where he is being treated for burns and shrapnel wounds to his legs, after he was tackled to the ground by a civilian who believed he was acting suspiciously.



A law enforcement source told CBS: 'They see him running away from the device. Now, a reasonable person would be running away. But this person had noticed him before. This is a civilian -- chases him down, tackles him, turns him over to the Boston police.

you may see someone posting a picture of a little girl running for Sandy Hook school (the shooting at the elementary school in December) it is false picture as the only child known killed is of a little boy who was 8.
