Current Affairs Boston bombing

[leviramsey]

Everything seems consistent with alienated young guy (in this case, the older brother) gets angry about not having his fair share of friends, etc., finds himself comforted in a violent (perhaps even apocalyptic) world view.

Klebold & Harris

VaTech shooter

Aurora shooter

Lanza

Same basic story.

I think the problem is that people are trying to treat it as a 'terrorist' incident when it more resembles the DC snipers.

Some people just lose it.

Chances of that guy been captured alive look fairly slim

[AshVilla]

There were hundreds of bullets fired at his car the likely hood he drove away from that scene without being shot would be a miracle

 

He has probably crawled and died somewhere

As requested NSFW and **** gory. BE WARNED.

This is like a spoiler in the film thread. I know I shouldn't but I'm tempted to have a look.

 

I don't like the gory stuff but it's not that bad. Just a dead guy with a large wound on the side.

 

 

Not too gory. I was expecting something like this (don't look if you're still watching Breaking Bad)

 

[The_Rev]

Some people are being well humoured about it. 

 

 

 

And just to confirm, don't look at the above spoiler if you are not up to date with Breaking Bad.  It is a spoiler on a par with finding out the truth about Kaiser Soze.

rt@Lindsay Harrington, Dunkin Donuts spokeswoman: "At the direction of authorities, select Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in the Boston area are open to take care of needs of law enforcement and first responders."

 

 

Those cops need to be refueled on donuts

This seems to be a recurring problem.

That's what happens when you don't put remote on docking station.

I wonder if the americans have learned from their mistakes and checked his house first?

[NurembergVillan]

Looks like they've abandoned the search and the city is open for business again.

 

It'd be scary being out on the streets if you think that nutbox is roaming about.

[snowychap]

That's rather strange, isn't it?

Are they admitting, in effect, that he's got away?

[NurembergVillan]

Seems to be the case.  Either that or they reckon, as someone said before, that he's dead in a bush somewhere.

Interpol

LYON, France – INTERPOL has issued an international security alert, or Orange Notice, detailing the features of the improvised explosive devices used in the Boston marathon bombings to assist law enforcement across its 190 member countries detect any similarly configured bombs.

The INTERPOL Orange Notice, requested by the US authorities, contains photographs of the devices and identifying information including the fingerprints of the two suspects, 19-year-old Dzhokar Tsarnaev, currently being sought by authorities in the US, and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, aged 26, who died after a shoot-out with police in Boston in the early hours of Friday.

A public version of the Orange Notice – with confidential police information removed – is also being made available by the world police body.

“The decision by the FBI and US authorities to request an INTERPOL Orange Notice will enable police services and other law enforcement agencies around the world to advise US law enforcement authorities whether they've come across similarly designed devices in their own investigations,” said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.

“Equally as important is the decision by the INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Washington to authorize a sanitized version to be circulated to the public, as their vigilance can be essential in alerting law enforcement to potential threats.

“One of INTERPOL’s core missions is to ensure that national law enforcement authorities have the information they need to help protect their citizens from any threats, and we will continue to liaise closely with each of our member countries during this investigation,” concluded the INTERPOL Chief.

According to US law enforcement authorities, the two devices which exploded on Monday were concealed in backpacks and placed near the finishing line of the Boston marathon. The terrorist bomb attacks resulted in the death of three people, including an eight-year-old boy, and injured more than 170 others.

Issued by the Command and Coordination Centre at INTERPOL’s General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon, all member countries have also been requested to circulate the Orange Notice to relevant law enforcement agencies in their countries, and to share any information on the suspects and modus operandi with the FBI and US law enforcement authorities.

Members of the public with information about the suspects or the devices used are advised to contact the US Federal Bureau of Investigation as indicated on their web page and news alerts.

Created in 2004, the INTERPOL Orange Notice is used to warn police, public entities and other international organizations of potential threats related to disguised weapons, explosives and other dangerous materials. It can also be issued by the General Secretariat for any act or event which poses a risk to the safety and security of citizens around the globe. To date, nearly 200 Orange Notices have been issued.

Anybody else think that "Uncle Ruslan" is more than a little bit like José Mourinho?

RT @CBSNews: FBI now acknowledges they interviewed Tsarnaev 2 years ago at the request of a foreign country about possible extremist ties.
