Holly, I think it was spectators that were killed. The explosions were on the sidewalk.

I'm at my house, closest I've been to Boston today was fifteen miles. You have to wonder why someone chooses a target like this.

I don't think that's likely. The only person the cops have apprehended (not charged) is a Saudi national, and the record of purported "right wing extremist" incidents that turned out to be right-wing in origin or belief is not exactly burgeoning.

I'm saddened by some of the comments on the news sites.  I think some people Americans are too quick to blame either Obama, Muslims, the Tea Party or anybody else :(
