Who knows? I guess we have to wait and see what happens over the next few hours, days, weeks, or even months on this one.
Shocking whatever.

The world is a violent place, America is a violent country, their enemies are violent people.

It's very sad.

I cant see who hopes to benefit from this type of terrorism, after all "they" have tried before and not got anywhere.
Thankfully, the loss of life,whilst unacceptable, was not as bad as it could have been.
I applaud those who helped the injured from all walks of life, particularly as another bomb was detonated only a few seconds later. If the "terrorist" had set the second bomb in the same place, it would have killed/injured them too. Apparently this is a terrorist trait - explode one bomb shortly after the first to kill as many helpers - be they police,medically trained,civilians,military etc.
Lets hope forensics turn something up.

Unfortunately there is more than the bombing itself that the terrorists achieve, it also raises the fear level of population.

Having seen news reports and videos, I don't think this was a terrorist attack. IMHO
By terrorist I mean Al-Qaeda etc
I think it's another 'American' lost the plot type. Instead of a shooting, this crackpot wired up a couple of bombs !

And i doubt we will ever find the truth.

Glad they caught one of them though so he can pay for what he's done.

He's been charged, but I've still not read why he and his brother did what they did  :o

I believe he cant communicate properly as he was hit in the throat by a bullet.  Still that doesnt mean he cant write.

Last I heard on the news Simon, he has been communicating by writing.
No details of what he's wrote have been published obviously :-( Hence my post.
