Wednesday April 17, 2013 I've Been Thinking: As time passes more and more information will emerge about the Boston twin bombings. There are several important points that need to be mentioned, information that will help analysts as they study this terror attack. The placing of the bombs shows great knowledge of the Boston Marathon. There is no doubt that the perpetrators had internal local knowledge of the marathon: Whoever placed the bombs knew that people come to see their loved ones cross the finish line and thousands revolve in and out after the actual marathon winners, often non-Americans, cross the finish line. Whoever placed the bombs knew that backpacks and food bags would be scattered and strewn all over the ground and go unnoticed and unreported. The second bomb would have been even more devastating had it been placed closer to the first and delayed by another 30 seconds. More people would have been targeted - those already in the area and those who rushed in to help. The explosions were very small. The bombs were very rudimentary. The small flash explosion and the plume of smoke told the story of a small amateur bomb. We have to look at this attack with a more global eye. This bombing is similar to Middle East bomb attacks. But one can find the recipes on line - it does not mean that the bomber/s were from the Middle East. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
