Massachusetts State Police investigating the marathon bombing searched an apartment just outside Boston, in Revere. Officers were seen leaving with bags full of material.

Anything else is pure fantasy and speculation.
Sure looks like your conditioned to hate Muslims. I know plenty of them, none of them wish me harm.

I have been reading through the last few pages but what I want to know is:
Why would a right-wing nutter choose the closing stages of a Marathon to cause havoc? Doesn't make sense to me as the only runners there were 'white' (from what I saw in the videos).

Islamists? Possibly, as they do have a hatred for the West and do these types of bombings without warnings.

NK Terrorist? Possible again, as the tension rises in NK and the surrounding area.

Russians or Chinese? Again its possible, as both have dis-like for Americans.

I'm no expert, but the way the explosions happened. one after the other. And with the amount of distance
between the two. Smacks of detonation, but I'm just speculating.
It actually sounds more like a gasline. im not saying it is or isnt but just going by that yeah , gasline fits very well and a lot better then what you suggest. Its your brain steering you into a different direction.

This is also a fact....had a group claimed responsibility, it would have been blacked out by the American media, sympathetic to the Obama administration.
DHS issued no warnings to Americans after this attack.....and it's already Tuesday morning.

These things really trouble me. One, no group has stepped forward to take responsibility. That points to domestic terrorism. But whoever did it apparently knew about the security precautions so they were smart. That points away from some kook.
The bombs used. They seemed to be designed to inflict serious lower body injury and not necessarily death.

There is no conditioning, only a clear understanding the history surrounding the invention and rise of Islam and the muslims who spread it through Jihad.

It's also the Emancipation Day Celebrations in Washington DC today... Security will be extremely tight everywhere.
The UK is slightly better prepared for Domestic Terrorism however. This is due in no small part to the IRA and the years of attacks they carried out.
I for one will be avoiding London when the Marathon is on and Maggies funeral but that's because the crowds will be clogging up transport and blocking roads all over the place and nothing to do with any threats!

Also the bombs, as you say they appear to have blown off lower limbs. Would this be because of where they were placed? ie. hidden under a bench or a bin at low level perhaps and not an attempt to 'just maim'. If they were hidden under something, it could be that they were placed there days before security made checks. I don't know if that's possible, just a theory.

All in all these crude explosions and no claiming responsibility do point to a disturbed individual or small group, yet the drill going on at the same time is suspicious. Linking this to worldwide events, London security services are going to have an extremely busy week with Thatcher's funeral on wednesday and the London Marathon on Sunday, maybe something will happen in the UK too.
