2 and only 2 explosive devices found yesterday, per Gov Patrick

Imvho - lie. I think they're trying to keep control bc they don't want Americans living in fear of another 9/11, especially considering the NK situation at the moment.

Rumours:

Seven devices not true. Only two devices.

Gardenlady · Apr 16, 2013

Atf is bringing explosives specialists
Specialized bomb techs, canines
30 forensic specialists
Rumors of seven devices is NOT true
Only two they are aware of
Looking for video, photos, contact hotlines

Canines and Bomb techs, 30 forensic techs. (ATF speaking) Two devices that we are aware of, and they were involved in the explosives incident.

Please contact FBI hotline with any media.

No doubt he is a testament to the community spirit...mumbles is just not good at public speaking. Obviously that hasn't hurt him when it comes to mayoral voting though!

Uhhhh.....so does that mean they still have no clue pointing to the culprits? I find that rather surprising, just seems like with all of the under cover agents etc...in various groups they would have some info by now.

This is starting to remind me of the Atlanta bombings a few years back (at the Olympics even), the authorities had no idea for a very long time (and then couldn't find the guy even when they knew he was in the mountains, he hid for years).

US atty Carmen Ortiz:

Extends condolences, thoughts and prayers to the injured
Amazing to see how people reacted, helped and consoled one another
Many parts to the investigation; it is active and ongoing; all necessary resources being brought.

Has been in contact with AG Holder, who also pledged all avail resources

I appreciated the mayor's Boston brogue.

Police Commish:

Perimeter is secured by police and National Guard
Have units on hand from YC and Baltimore, offers from around country
Crime scene Perimeter is how 12 blocks, will continue to shrink as investigation goes on
Stresses any info/media you have from not just immediate area but anywhere nearby, bring it to LE

believe09 · Apr 16, 2013

15 block crime scene has been reduced to 12 blocks. We want to get people into their buildings and open up as many streets as possible.

Photos or any media anywhere around the scene will be helpful.

Gardenlady · Apr 16, 2013

State Police again asking for ALL PHOTOS, VIDEOS, anything you have even if you think itis nothing

believe09 · Apr 16, 2013

There have to be hundreds if not thousands of observations sitting out there. Someone will follow up.

DA Connolly:

He's mad. Act of cowardice, cannot be explained, only answered. (Me: please don't let's go off half cocked and react out of pure anger

lease: )

Q&A...

Gardenlady · Apr 16, 2013

Questions now-
Combined presence of all LE should give comfort/encouragement to public (gov Patrick)

On behalf of JTTF: no known imminent believable threat

Beyond Belief · Apr 16, 2013

I just can't get the idea of when those cans had been emptied during the day. No way they weren't overflowing with all the people there by that time of day.
