Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national

Bastards!

Pretty horrific to think about getting caught up in something like that. Shocking....

Reports of visible 'blood spatter' over the road and pavements from the helicopters .

I'm guessing it's not the 'usual' culprits as the security services 'should' have picked them up weeks ago.

 

[Ziggy122]

Does it remind anybody of the london bombings....

Shocks - dismay - questions of why?

[AgnessGP]

Horrible to think that the guys running will have had no indication, no suspicion of this. They were innocent people taking part in an innocent event.

Jesus this is bad, an 8 year old is one confirmed dead.

Some pritty horrific pictures on this story so not for the feint hearted!

t is just sick really when you think of it
All because somebody want to make a point - they involve innocent people

I hope they burn in hell tbh, life is too short, and we are now all living in fear more and more everyday!

the world is coming to a rubbish dump, last one out, switch the lights off

At the moment no one knows who did this or why, its pretty unusual for this type of attack to slip through the net, and no one as yet has claimed responsibility and thus no point has been made.

This could be a terrorist attack it could be a man man working alone or more worrying but less likely it could be an act of war.

Its all a very sad state of affairs

 

[AgnessGP]

Yeah its pretty horrific. ****ing bastards. The guy mourning over his girlfriends dead body...no words can describe that image.

The US has had this kind of thing before, 9/11 notwithstanding, in the shape of Timothy McVeigh and the Unabomber. Sad as this episode is, it's nothing new to us in the UK.

+ many more. I don't wish to diminish the effects of the bombs today, but seeing as, along with New York, Boston was the source of a hell of a lot of support, both financial moral and material, to the IRA it almost seems as if the metaphorical pigeons have come home to roost.

 

[AgnessGP]

Similar to when we used to fund the fuel for planes shipping inmates to Guatemala and we had some sort of attack for that reason? May have my facts wrong though..

 

[The Beard]

Do you mean Guantanamo? Guatamala,:shakehead: Young people today eh? What can you do with them. Wasn't like that in my day I can tell you (waffle waffle) Now, where was I? Oh yeah, I think the London bombs were largely because we were allies of "The Great Satan" rather than an actual act.....but then I might be wrong.

"Surely not," I hear you cry.........

 

[AgnessGP]

Nah then! I forgot the name Guantanamo bay, I remember now. Mail online basically explained how to make a pressure cooker bomb earlier lol

What?? (Splutters into Earl Grey) THE Mail? THE Daily Mail?? Unbelievable. The Mail has finally found something to report on that isn't linked to house prices gong up, pensions going down or cures for angina, diabetes or erm, oh now, what's that other thing called? Oh you know, Margaret and George from Dun Roamin' down the avenue had it.

Hellfire, what's it called when you can't remember things? Oh I don't know. I tell you, it's a good job I haven't got alzheimers

I wonder...
It's been a while now since the Americans had a good war to rally the people & they have been known to make the odd sacrifice 'for the greater good'.

And for some people, there's a fortune to be made from other people's misery. It swells the newspapers & news channels, the people forget their petty differences & unify against the enemy at the gate...

Got to love the yanks. Outlaw kitchen appliances yet allow any old fool to walk out of a shop with a dirty great big gun & as much ammo as they can carry :bang:

It would take god himself to revoke America's second amendment rights.

 

[AgnessGP]

Ban pressure cookers? That's like saying, ban pens in case someone stabs someone with it. Or ban cars in case someone crashes into someone with it or fills it with bombs.

Also, where is this al Qaeda magazine "inspire" anyway? I'm guessing no one here knows the answer though...
