| Deadly Boston marathon horror is 'potential' terrorism |
| 2013-04-17 |
| [Pak Daily Times] Two kabooms which brought carnage to the Boston marathon with three dead and more than 100 injured was being treated Tuesday as a "potential terrorist" attack. Multiple kabooms targeting crowds of civilians would seem to be terrorism by definition, but I guess I'm not subtle enough to understand... The two kabooms 13 seconds apart threw victims into the air as the famed race came to an end, tearing the limbs off some. An eight-year-old boy was reportedly among the dead. Security was stepped up in major cities across the United States amid fears of a repeat of the September 11, 2001 attacks. President Barack Obama Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back... said those who planted the bombs will "feel the full weight of justice." "Just like those miscreants at Guantanamo!" Obama went on national television to warn against "jumping to conclusions", but a senior White House official said such an attack was "clearly an act of terror." Ahah. Nose/face syndrome strikes again. Special agent Rick DesLauriers, who heads the FBI's Boston bureau, told news hounds: "It is a criminal investigation that is a potential terrorist investigation." "Y'see, it could be Al Capone rubbing out some guys that cheesed him off, but he operated out of Chi, and he's dead now. But it could be somebody like him. Most likely it's white supremacists or Tea Partiers or something." More than 100 people were maimed, Massachusetts governor Deval ( Whoa! Nice) drapes!Patrick said, without giving an exact figure. The Boston Globe said more than 140 were hurt and that one of those killed at the scene was an eight-year-old boy. |
