    No I guessed that, but just wondered whether there was confirmation rather than speculation.

    Arry put the news on, marathon tv camera caught it very well.

    I'm often amazed it doesn't happen more often we live in a scary world.

    I think ur assumption needs to continue further east imo.

    But hey we could both be wrong.

    I only found out ten mins ago. Been outside on the car!

    I would put more bets on crazy home grown gun nuts less related to the far east.

    whoever it was should be made to strap his own bombs to his own nuts. So, SO cowardly. Well, its cowardly anywhere, but at a marathon, where no-one is harming anyone else, and lots of people are running for charity.... this world is messed up

    Could be middle east associated, especially if the reports of them capturing a dude is true.

    Still think its some Ultra right wing nutter.

    Wont be NK, too small for them. If it was, then well they will cease to exist in a few weeks.

    It's weird isn't it? First thing in America since 9/11 isn't it?

    It screams of a repeat of the Timothy McVey stuff.

    Just seen a proper video, with sound etc included. Truly horrific, its unthinkable. Gotta be a domestic group surely? if it was al-quaeda etc they would have been big enough to take down the buildings I would of thought. Still, just speculation for now, lets just hope all those affected/injured are safe and can get the help they need.

    Not so sure - McVeigh went specifically at a government building.

    Going at the public seems a bit more like the chaps who tried to bomb Tiger Tiger and Glasgow airport over the Iraq occupation.

    Then again it was Patriots Day so maybe some symbolism about the constitution there.
