Debka Analysis: FBI Boston Marathon probe points to Mid-East terrorists with domestic support
Key bits:
Counterterrorism experts are equally certain of the Middle East terrorist hallmarks on the Boston Marathon bombings, although it is too soon to say whether it was the work of Al Qaeda or an allied radical jihadi group such as the Ansar al-Sharia
...a Yemeni Islamist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends...
, which was responsible for the Benghazi consulate in conjunction with a clandestine al Qaeda command center in Cairo.

Experts experienced in these matters maintain that an attack on this scale and of this type would have required four or five bombers on the ground and a support team of about 10 spotters and accomplices familiar with the terrain, further back. They would have needed more than one vehicle and communications gear, in addition to mobile phones which are easily tracked.

The two kabooms, 400 meters apart, were obviously coordinated and designed to cause maximum casualties. The ball-bearings scattered across the scene of the crime and found in the pockets of some of the casualties were familiar to Israelis and others and telling evidence of Middle East terrorist authorship.

The bomb which caused such havoc and agony was small yet deadly -- another pointer to the "professionalism" of the attackers.
