Sounds plausible. I would be surprised if this was a foreign attack.
This is the first thing I thought as well, someone whose tax payments just buried them.
Also, there is a shit ton of blood on the streets in the live shots. Perhaps it would be better not to show that on TV least it encourage others.
Video shows it directly targeted spectators.
I read somewhere that some of the Newtown parents were in the VIP section near one of the blasts.

What are you hearing about that, chud?
from the BPD press conference that was just on, it sounded like it was this morning and they are considering it related.
We're reporting that the JFK blast happened third, within the last hour or so.

I'm pretty sure they were in the seats across the street from the explosion.

Sounds like no one was injured in the JFK explosion, right?

That's what it sounds like but we know little about that one.

right. ABC News says no injuries reported there, they're saying now that it was a fire in the building, but they're still considering it related at this time.
they've also just evacuated the kennedy school of government building at Harvard.

We have a reporter at JFK Library and he can't officially confirm no injuries there but he's seeing responders and not injured people.

A quick twitter search shows the NY Post as the source of the saudi national angle, but they were the same people to say 12 were dead as soon as this happened.

Who do you work for? I find it odd that part of the story seems to be completely ignored by the local media.

Per our reporter at JFK Library. There was a fire there this morning that caused a lot of workers to leave early for the day. Then, about an hour and fifteen minutes after the initial downtown explosions another explosion happened there at the JFK Library.

My suspicion is that after all the newtown misinformation the local media is showing slightly more restraint with this story and running with anecdotal stuff.
