fuck. I really wish my friend would answer his phone. I spoke to him at 12:45 Boston time and he was at the finish line waiting for his wife to arrive.

a lot of my family was downtown I just hope they are all OK.

They shut down all cell service in Boston to prevent any possible remote detonations.

Ooooops... well covered.. I'll get back to work now.

Tragic.

...and yet my guns had nothing to do with it.

Ya, there are some flavors of international terrorism coming out now that more info is available. Multiple random non-political targets is clearly Al Qaeda, trash cans and secondaries is IRA, the timing is domestic. I'm still guessing domestic, but clearly could be wrong.

The Saudi they are guarding could be for his protection and the media is speculating otherwise. Think about it, S Saudi national at a bombing? Ya, thinking some upset relative could easily snap at the hospital and cave his head in.

IRA is pretty much out of the game . . .and they NEVER would've targeted Boston.

Cell phone service is disconnected in Boston area to stop any cell phone related bombings. Just read it on the web.

Are the foreigns 'smart' enough, or sophisticated enough, to spoof a domestic event?

Counterproductive... Part of terrorism, especially for the international org's, is taking credit for the attack to instill fear in their group and persuade others to do what they want.

Oh yes, do not underestimate them.
