There's been at least one explosion near the finish line at the Boston Marathon about 20 minutes ago. Numerous serious injuries, according to ABC news. At least one commentator said this coincides with MA "Patriot Day." Incredible how a "newsperson" is so quick to broadcast opinions. Emergency personnel are still arriving, and ABC news is talking about possible "Patriot" involvement.

As of 4PM 4 explosions 2 dead 22 seriously injured. Bad people will always find a way

A fire officer is just on the news and says there were 3 explosions. this is at 4:57PM

The third explosion was at the JFK Library.

A few of my buddies and I have been wondering how long it would take for IEDs to hit American soil. We also wondered (actually knew) how the "blame game" will go down.
The potential times square bomber was thought to be a tea party "activist" very early on.
You just got to love the dumb#$% liberal media, never letting a good crisis go to waste. Dirtball scumbags.
Fact is another terrorist attack happened on our soil and Americans were killed and injured and that iis all that is known right now.
I do hope when they catch the organization behind this swift justice is dealt out.

Yup, IED tactics 101. Place more than one and hope to catch 1st responders and more citizens in the chaos of the 1st wave.

There are not many places more emotionally uplifting than the finish line of a marathon. This is just a terrible and senseless tragedy. My heart goes out to the families of the killed and wounded.

Very little facts at this point...

[Ontario Honker Hunter]

I did an extensive search and couldn't find any source making a reference to or inference that conservative radical organizations possibly were involved. However, I'm quite certain it's not the work of Greenpeace or other liberal radical groups. :-)

[Gary Devine]

My wife told me when I got home from work.
Everyone please pray for the families of those who were killed or wounded. It sad there are people who do horrible things in this world.

A number of unexploded devices were also recovered. That should be a treasure trove of information about the bomber(s).

[hengst]

The reports highlighting "right wing extremists" were live on Boston local fox 25 and ABC using "consultants"
Didn't catch the guy's name on fox 25 Lee something another.
Sorry the "research didn't pan out, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

[CoyoteHunter]

Let's not make this about politics y'all. Prayers with the victims and their families.

[357]

we don't know jack yet, let's just hope for the victims and wait to see what really happened.

I admire the way that cell phone service was quickly suspended to prevent the detonation of other bombs.
I guess that's all part of contingency planning, and was not quick thinking on somebody's part.
