Anybody else watching skynews?

Three people have reportedly been killed after two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

About three hours after the winners crossed the line, there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish.

Another explosion could be heard a few seconds later, reportedly on the other side of the street.

The blasts happened as the marathon was still taking place with some competitors pictured finishing the race and others being diverted away from the site.

Runners who had not finished made their way down Commonwealth Avenue and into a family meeting area, according to an emergency plan.

Just seen that. Awful how people can make things that will cause that to another human being.

I've also heard a rumour that families of the Newtown victims were sat very near the finish line.

I assume you mean me mate

Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national — in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.

Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.


It seems the New York Post is their version of the sun, so they don't let facts get in the way of a story.

Assuming - just for the sake of argument as there's no evidence yet to suggest it is - that it was an international terrorist group which was responsible, I think it highly unlikely they would attack a similar sporting event where security was at it highest?
