Not necessarily. Might have been waiting for a greater concentration of runners - if it was planned that well, anyway.

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.

Do you have a link for this? I'm trying to keep up with this as best as possible.

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.

It's also the New York Post. They'll be outright making shit up to get page views right up until the point where actual evidence shows up and then all the old stuff will be quietly discarded.

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.

They didn't say this however it would be an enormous coincidence to have had an unrelated fire occur in the same place as another bombing target,

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.

Police Chief (Commissioner?) just confirmed the explosion at JFK is being treated as related.

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

On one hand, my first instinct was to think this was probably some sort of lone nut or domestic terrorist.

On the other hand, the way they are describing this, with there being multiple bombs strewn about the area in strategic locations, makes me wonder how much planning and effort had to go into this.

Singular domestic terrorist MO does not leave out strategic planning and effort, in fact, it requires it.

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?

Considering the amount of crazy shooters we tend to have, who have also stockpiled explosives as well, it's interesting people would think of North Korea than just another Lanza or any other crazed killer.
April 15th is a big deal for North Korea (it's Kim Il-Sung's birthday) and everyone was expecting a provocation of some sort today. That's why they're on people's radar.

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.

You should check out the NK thread. Last I looked it devolved into a bunch of racism and war mongering.

You put something like "A source says". That way it's not you making shit up, it's your source. Just because the source is someone like Derek from accounting saying "Probably a Muzzie" doesn't mean it's not a source.

Because using the last tragedy for political gain before all the facts where in worked out so well last time, not to mention you have to be a colossal shit stain to do this hours after it happened.

If you know anyone that needs to find someone that was at the race today, Google set up a person finder. I'd post the number too but I don't have it.
