Domestic who? I had no idea there was any domestic threats in the US other than ones that have been on holiday to the Middle East.  Shootings in the US are frequent but I've not heard of bombings like this in the same vain, or frequent.

Unless your school kids have upped their game.

Nah - must be them dirty stinkin' muzlins

[Hubbs]

Well we will see but that's my guess going on current affairs and the bomb designs. Second guess Libyans.

Next guess?

There's no motive to attack a marathon if it was a religious group. There's nothing about this attack for any serious terrorist to go after. Yes, I read the statement by the whack job Jordanian recently but I don't believe that al-Qaeda would go out of its way to target such an insignificant event.

Next guess?

Plenty of people though, in the US, televised, they aren't gonna be that picky I'd assume.

I really don't see how you can rule out extreme Islamist's all considering, its not like they haven't earned/don't deserve this bad reputation. Even though the Taliban has denied involvement that still doesn't mean it wasn't Islam extremists, like I say they could be working on their own.

They have gotta be front runners alongside some other possibilities.

I'm not ruling them out. I just think it's highly unlikely.

Fertilizer Plant Explosion in Waco,Texas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROrpKx3aIjA#ws

(CNN) -- A massive explosion at a fertilizer plant in the small Texas town of West left at least two people dead, sent dozens more seeking medical attention and prompted a widescale evacuation in the community of 2,600 people.
Fire officials fear that the number of casualties could rise much higher.
The blast took place at the West Fertilizer Plant, about 18 miles north of Waco. It sent a massive fireball into the sky
And the danger may not be over.
Residents are being evacuated because officials are worried that another tank at the facility might explode.
State troopers in gas masks were scene rushing to the area shortly after the blast,
Shortly after the explosion, more than 60 patients streamed into Hillcrest Hospital in Waco, suffering from "blast injuries, orthopedic injuries (and) a lot of lacerations," said hospital CEO Glenn Robinson.
While some of the injuries are minor, others are "quite serious," he said.
At least six helicopters are going to fly out those who are injured, Robinson said. Others are being transported by ambulance, and some are getting to the hospital by car, he added.
Two other hospitals in the region were also assisting.
As many scrambled to assist the injured, another danger seemed to emerge Wednesday night.
"What we are hearing is that there is one fertilizer tank that is still intact at the plant, and there are evacuations in place to make sure everyone gets away from the area safely in case of another explosion," said Ben Stratmann, a spokesman for Texas State Sen. Brian Birdwell.
Photos of the explosion -- which reportedly happened around 7:50 p.m. (8:50 p.m. ET) -- showed a huge blaze and flames leaping over the roof of a structure and a plume of smoke rising high into the air.
The West Fertilizer Plant is just north of Waco. A school and a nursing home are among the buildings near the plant, CNN affiliate KWTX reported.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry said he is aware of the explosion, a spokesman said, and was working to get resources into the area.
Tommy Alford, who works in a convenience store about three miles from the plant, told CNN that several volunteer firefighters were at the store when they spotted smoke. Alford said the firefighters headed toward the scene and then between five and 10 minutes later, he heard a massive explosion.
"It was massive; it was intense," Alford said.
Chrystal Anthony, a nearby resident, said she saw the flames engulf a nursing home and an apartment complex.
"It was an apartment complex that was devastated, the nursing home. The fire was close to a residential area," Anthony said.
"It was like a bomb went off," said Barry Murry, a resident who lives about a mile away from the plant. "There were emergency vehicles everywhere. It has been overwhelming."
West, Texas, is a community of about 2,800 people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Sitting about 75 miles south of Dallas and 120 miles north of Austin, West is one of 22 incorporated communities in McLennan County.
Some firefighters at the scene of a fertilizer plant explosion in Texas were concerned Wednesday night about anhydrous ammonia.
What is anhydrous ammonia?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, anhydrous ammonia is a pungent gas with suffocating fumes that is used as a fertilizer.
When exposed to humans, it can cause serious problems.

Anhydrous is a key ingrediant in meth.  We always have fools trying to break into anhydrous dealers back home so they can get said ingrediant.

For all your bullshit needs. We even sell it as fertilizer! That's how strong our verbal bullshit is.

Reeks of home brewed terrorism for some reason... Don't know why but that's the feeling I'm getting.

Islamist terrorists usually let everyone know that whatever terrorist cell who did it did it. There is no low profile hush hush going on after the attack has been executed.

Also, why target a marathon? Sure, there are lots of people there and lots of media coverage, but still. Just don't see the military gain in bombing a marathon. It's not like them. They usually go for targets that at least have some level of political significance.

Er, no they don't. They mainly try to kill as many people as possible, and create as much terror as possible. They're genocidal psychopaths, not political activists.

It is unusual for them not to take credit, but we have no idea about the circumstances of whoever did it. Maybe it's an isolated cell who intended to leave the country before releasing videos, or something like that. Though again, as Islamic extremist terrorists are motivated by beliefs rather than a political agenda, they don't actually further their aims by taking credit.

Go back a page, Grimes. Already been posted, I even added a link to soundcloud that has 24 minutes worth of the police scanner.
