The facts we know:
1. The bomb was similar to IEDs used in Afghanistan and Iraq
2. They were "crude" bombs made with "household" chemicals
3. They were covered with some sort of shrapnel (BB's or ball bearings)
4. They were hidden in a runner like bag and a trash can
5. Timed to go off when slow packs of runners and families would be around.
6. None of the "other devices" turned out to be bombs.
7. The bombs were fairly close together, less than 1/2 mile.
My questions:
If this was a "Tax Day" protest, why the Boston Marathon? It would seem some sort of Washington target would be more likely, or a post office with people dropping off returns. It would more likely be something related.
If this was someone connected to Al Qaeda, why haven't they taken responsibility?
Who ever it is, it seems like it was more "lone wolf" than organized.
