An eyewitness to the two explosions at the Boston Marathon today said that a “drill” was repeatedly announced before the bombs exploded and that he “thought it was odd” bomb sniffing dogs were in place before the blast.
University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15 News, “They kept making announcements on the loud speaker that it was just a drill and there was nothing to worry about. “It seemed like there was some sort of threat, but they kept telling us it was just a drill.” The news station also reports that Stevenson “thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.” Stevenson then describes hearing the explosions as he ran away from the scene, having just completed the marathon. If this report is accurate, it clearly suggests there could have been some degree of prior knowledge of the bombing, which killed two people and injured at least 23. The fact that the explosions were preceded and overlapped by a”drill” of an almost identical nature mirrors other major terror attacks, such as the 7/7 bombings in London. It is important to emphasize that the New York Times recently reported that most of the recent domestic terror plots in the United States “were facilitated by the F.B.I.,” suggesting that today’s incident in Boston may have been part of such an operation. It remains to be seen how the media and the Obama administration will exploit this incident depending who gets the blame, but Rahm Emanuel’s “never let a serious crisis go to waste” advisory is sure to be in play.

New reports say that there was not a third bomb found. The first two bombs were pressure cookers filled with nails, metal, and ball bearings. No wonder there were so many amputations. Bombs were contained in duffle bags. Breaks my heart to see those that rush in immediately in the face of uncertain danger to yank away those fences and tend to the injured, whether it be police, national guard, or regular civilians. I know sometimes the police take a lot of shit (and sometimes for good reason) but these guys didn't even blink. But I understand that feeling of helplessness. I would hope that I would be one of those people rushing in, and not running the other direction.

No, they're interesting. The fact that these events happen to coincide with drills of the exact same nature... interesting.

And since when would the New York Times suggest that the FBI was behind a terror attack? |
