Bombs explode at Boston Marathon
Apr 16^th, 2013 at 6:21am

Just woke up to see that two bombs have exploded at the Boston Marathon in the United States while we were sleeping and that at the moment, they are saying two are dead and just over 20 injured in the blasts. Haven't heard the word "terrorism" yet, though. The bombs exploded about 3hrs after the major runners finished and occurred near the finish line in quick succession. Live pictures from the scene show a bloodbath on the sidewalks.

Those that supported the invasion of Afghanistan, will they support sending young Australians into Africa and elsewhere.

Update: another bomb has exploded in the last 30 minutes at the JFK library. Unconfirmed reports of a suspect under Police guard in hospital. Bomb technicians checking every single bag on the ground around the finish line, as most people fled after dropping whatever they were carrying. DFAT has set up a hotline for people to ring. No fly zone in force over Boston.

You're truly pathetic. Honestly, trying to gain political mileage out of this is below the gutter even for you. Pi$$ off. Angry

Look there are people fleeing tyranny ... lets call them "illegals" for political gain.

As we saw in the last attack in the US, Australians died in Afghanistan because the old parties followed orders from the US.

Will this pattern be repeated in Africa.

No wonder the Greens are fast becoming irrelevant. Even the ALP wants nothing to do with them anymore. Go hug a tree, dip$hit...

Outside of Boston PD press conferences I would take most everything you're reading with a grain of salt. So far two bombs went off, two dead coulpe dozen injured, a second explosize was found and controled detonated by BPD EOD, the smoke at the airport is just a fire that's been taken care of, and no suspects at this time.

Personnally I think it's probably a domestic act and doezn't have anything to do with Al Q or Islam. So relax and wait for things to play out before jumping to silly assed conclusions about invading Africa

Sure A.P, understand you have a Greens phobia because we are so effective.

In the meantime, try directing your attention to this thread's topic. Terrorism and the consequences of --> Already Al Qaeda is being suspected and so do the old parties here repeat their mistakes in Afghanistan and go gung ho into Africa ~ or will they wait until Al Qaeda assists J.I in a local attack.

What have Abbott and Gillard learned from the deaths and other costs of our mistakes in Afghanistan?

Apparently the New York Post - which is the US equivalent of the UKs Daily Fail - was reporting a Saudi national was in custody. Then I heard US authorities denying anyone was being held...

There were reportedly many families of the victims from the Sandy Hook school massacre in the crowd at the marathon:
