Suspect is a Saudi national per the New York Post.

They are now saying there definitely was a third explosion at the JFK Library, treating like they are related.

Police confirming that there was indeed an explosion at the JFK library.

Yeah if there was a bomb at the JFK library that hardly seems like something a foreign terrorist would do Of course, its all shitty speculation. Nothing about a suspect, so looks like NY Post is full of shit.

Did the police say whether the explosion caused the fire reported at the JFK Library earlier? And yeah, I wouldn't trust anything the NY Post says, especially in so short a period of time.

Man, this is fucking crazy. I really hope the casualty count stays where it's at right now. This is like a precise attack at the heart of Boston. I hope they have Fenway on lock right now.A DENVER FAX posted:NY Post is full of shit.

He also said they had not found any other devices, I thought they had found some unexploded devices?

Chief of Police just said there's no suspects yet and they're still looking for leads. JFK Library had a third explosion which was not controlled, though I'm not sure how damaging it was, maybe it whiffed and only started the fire?

Moreover state terrorism really doesn't seem like their bag, all I found was two attacks against South Korean targets, the most recent being 25 years ago. It's a total non sequitur.

Have to admit, it would be very interesting in a morbid way to see acts of terrorism on our soil committed by a nuclear power.
