Boston bombing

Two separate explosion. It's an odd one.

Obviously it's tragic for the families of those who have lost one, but it's not a big target, there's not a huge number of casualties, who would have done this?

If its a terror attack, the aim is have a lot of people watching, not necessarily a lot of people dead.

Of course, the irony is that Boston is the home to a lot of 2nd 3rd generation Irish, and was a popular fundraising centre for the IRA.  Much of the IRA funds for the their campaigns through the 70's and 80's were paid for by "proud patriots" in Boston bars.

 

No idea where the ongoing splinter groups get their funds these days, but if any still came in from here, this will kill it stone dead.

BBC reporting that Boston police are carrying out a controlled explosion, they're usually fairly reliable so I guess a third package. Two explosions at a time when the streets were this packed is pretty unlikely to be accidental I think.
