Has this been confirmed as a terrorist attack or just some nut job?

By its very nature, it is a terrorist attack.

It's a good thing whoever did this sucked. It could have been at the start of the race. And now they hopefully just left the key to catching them with these 2 un-exploded devices.

My early thought is that this is domestic



Agreed. I really don't think this would be on the radar of al-Qaeda, and their attacks are usually much more violent.

I have to think this is either a nutjob like in Aurora or Arizona or some sort of domestic incident.

Stupid post. I bet the people hurt/killed don't think the bomber "sucked".

Same here. It could be some fricking nut protesting taxes (in Boston no less).

Yup. I also saw that it's "Patriot's Day" there and pretty much everyone is out of school or off work so whoever planned it was definently going big for symbolisim

I know this is horrible, but I really hope this is a foreign attack.

I'd love to go lay the hurt down on someone or some organization for this.

It obviously wasn't meant in that manner, but thanks for your input

I think people feel better being able to compartlementalize incidents like this. No one wants to believe that their next door neighbor, Johnny America, is capable of such a horrible acts.

I think they have come out and said the two aren't related and that there was just a fire at JFK.
