Reading they shut down cell service in the area. I'm assuming maybe the bombs they found intact were rigged for remote detonation by cell? 4/15/2013 5:13:21 PM |

ESPN is talking to some guy by cell phone, so if they shut off cell phone service they did a shitty job of it 4/15/2013 5:13:55 PM |

...That's stupid. Not only are you not supposed to have exerted yourself by running a GD marathon right before you give blood, it has to go through a battery of tests before it gets OKed to be used in transfusions. 4/15/2013 5:23:05 PM |

New evidence points to a team of 4: An Iranian, a North Korean, a Venezuelan, and a Canadian.
In unrelated reports, Bush has been overheard talking about "The 3rd Gulf War" and "recruiting a personal posse--including himself--to go kill'em all." 4/15/2013 5:23:34 PM |

No media outlet has reported 12 people dead or anything about a Saudi national except the NY Post, which constantly makes up and sensationalizes news.
Not saying they won't turn out to be right, but they are basically a tabloid. 4/15/2013 5:24:37 PM |

I moved away last August. But I still have so many friends there who always try to stay close to the finish line.
My ex was less than a block away.

The marathon is run on main roads in front of a lot of people's homes/apartments. Most people just sit on their porch or balcony drinking beer all day.

Every building in that part of town has a rood garden or patio. I'm surprised there aren't more folks up there.

I'm not quick to buy this. After the OKC bombing all the news channels were reporting an "Arab suspect" but then it was the whitest dude ever.

why are they not calling this terrorism? why does terrorism only apply to things do by radical muslims and not any kind of terrorism? this was clearly terrorism, it doesn't matter by who or in support of what cause, its terrorism. 4/15/2013 5:31:50 PM |
