| Boston Bombs Were Detonated By Remote Used For Toy Cars | |
| 2013-04-25 | |
| [Jpost] The two bombs that went off at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding 264, were detonated with the kind of remote device used to control a toy car, US Sherlocks told a House of Representatives panel on Wednesday. "It was a remote control for toy cars," US Representative Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told news hounds after officials from the Department of Homeland Security, FBI and National Center for Counterterrorism briefed the committee.
Inspire was created by the American-Yemeni preacher Anwar al-Awlaki ... Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, zapped in Yemen, al-Awlaki was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen. He was an Islamic holy man who was a trainer for al-Qaeda and its franchises. His sermons were attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers, by Fort Hood murderer Nidal Malik Hussein, and UndieboomerUmar Farouk Abdulmutallab. He was the first U.S. citizen ever placed on a CIA target list... , a leader of al-Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen who was killed in a US drone strike. Ruppersberger said the article on bomb-building in Inspire was headlined: "How to build a bomb in your mom's kitchen." Ruppersberger also confirmed that at least some of the explosives used in the attack had come from a fireworks shop in New Hampshire. | |

| #7 They switched their reports from a 'SafeLink' (nee ObamaPhone) initiation device to a remote controlled solenoid type device to tone down the growing debate over the free phones. An RC control/solenoid system would be easier to set up, but the range isn't that great (1/4 mile). Of course, they really didn't need any real range in this instance, so it's possible. |

| #1 Is everyone in Washington an idiot? So I can take a remote control car, some silly putty, a couple of roman candles and my mom's pressure cooker and blow up a major sporting event. Any rational human being would die laughing at that premise. Not going to happen, you have to have some detailed training. Has everyone forgotten the nails and ball bearings? Please sweet Lord save us from these idiots before something TERRIBLE happens to us all. |
