[QUOTE]Boston Marathon bombs kill 2, hurt dozens
Two killed in bomb blasts near finish line of Boston Marathon, Boston police say. Area hospitals say at least 69 are injured; Boston Globe reports more than 100 injured.
Two explosions happened at about 2:50 p.m., more than two hours after the first of the race's nearly 27,000 runners had crossed the finish line.
Boston.com journalist reports "blood everywhere," people missing limbs.
Race called off; Red Cross and Google set up websites to help people find loved ones in the area

Still not believing this is the result of domestic terrorism. This is just speculation on my part, but this definitely seems like what the higher ups of AQ wants to happen (I.e people attend their camps; then go back to their respective countries and commit these atrocious crimes on behalf of AQ). People are dismissing this claim, both on the internet and in real life, because of the scale. The scale means nothing, to be honest. They just performed the most successful terroristic plot in the US since 9/11. Its a major breakthrough for them because it shows that despite our ramped up security, we aren't invincible. Then, of course, pressure cooker bombs are what we've seen in Iraq and Afghan. Of course, the instructions on how to make one via Inspire magazine could be seen by any asshole who wants to make one, but its still helping my case.
