Explosions at Boston Marathon - A2K Runners, Check In Please

You didn't just follow off the turnip wagon yesterday, Joe. They're hypin' the sheep up for another illegal invasion.

The senior CIA analyst responsible for tracking Osama bin Laden from 1996, Michael Scheuer, wrote shortly after that “bin Laden has been precise in telling America the reasons he is waging war on us. [He] is out to drastically alter US and Western policies toward the Islamic world”, and largely succeeded: “US forces and policies are completing the radicalisation of the Islamic world, something Osama bin Laden has been trying to do with substantial but incomplete success since the early 1990s. As a result, I think it is fair to conclude that the United States of America remains bin Laden’s only indispensable ally.” And arguably remains so, even after his death.

Source: Bag Detonated In Boston Contained Rice Cooker, Confetti

BOSTON (CBS) – Boylston Street was evacuated Tuesday night after two bags were left at the finish line
of the Boston Marathon. Both bags were detonated by the Bomb Squad.

At least one of the bags was being carried by a barefoot man who was wearing a long black veil and
screaming “Boston Strong.” That man has been identified as Kayvon Edson.

A source tells WBZ-TV that when Edson was stopped by police, he told them he had a rice cooker in
his bag. That is when the Bomb Squad was called to the scene.

A source tells CBS News that the rice cooker in the bag was full of confetti.

The Bomb Squad inspected the bag left behind the photo bridge and detonated it just before 9:00 p.m.
The second bag was detonated about 40 minutes later.

A source says the second bag contained photo equipment.

Boston Police say the bags were “disrupted for precautionary reasons.”

Boylston Street was shut down between Dartmouth and Fairfield Streets while police investigated.
Copley Station on the Green Line was also closed.
