And there was supposedly a report from the hospital about at least 10 people taken there with missing limbs. Terrible tragedy and no doubt this is a terrorist attack. Sounds like an explosion in a hotel room, followed by an explosion of a package or within a trash can on the ground.

Horrible ... just down right makes you sick in your gut knowing that there is people this sick in the world

That's terrible.

Yeah, I saw some speculation earlier about suicide bombers too, but I think that was twitter rumor mongering. The videos/pictures are more interesting in the immediate aftermath of these types of things to me just because there is always so much junk info going around.

April 15th...tax day. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a case of domestic terrorism rather than foreign-bred. There are some crazy, domestic anti-government groups.

Good point, but since the attack is on civilian by-standards and not government interests, I'd still bet on the more traditional suspects.

Possibly and I have long wondered at the stupidity of those suspects in carring out their own plans.

You shortened your username! Any particular reason?

Is violence the only way anyone feels like they can make a point anymore?

This just makes me sick.

I thought it would look more elegant, but I don't think I like it so far.

BTW, given the seriousness of the issue, we should not have off-topic conversations here.
