I don't know how he got away by foot, and armed? =/

I hope it doesn't actually get more messy during the day.

LEO friend says the number of devices and locations is a sure sign of a group of people.

Like the people who paid for the bomb house

There is a cell operating in the US.

LEo just said "Why are they sending a BearCat? That own't stop a bomb blast."

Okay sure, I'll just wait for an official confirmation of such a thing rather than listen to the speculative theories of your "LEO Friend".

 

[PopeReal]

I'm trying to catch up on all this. So was the first suspect shot or did he detonate something?

And the second suspect is on the loose in a neighbourhood, armed?

He was shot and taken into custody. Had an explosive device on his chest which detonated after he was taken into custody. 2nd suspect is still loose, they believe they have him in the perimeter they set up and will continue house to house search in daylight. All my info is coming from what I have heard on scanner, been listening to it for hours now.

I have no idea how to post a tweet with the image.

What's LEO?

Titanic?
Inception?
Come on man keep up.

 

[EvilDick34]

That's why we need this motherfucker alive. Just doesn't seem likely, though...

He isn't going to be taken alive. It's getting out of hand at this point.

 

[FalconSabre]

Even ESPN is covering this story.

I'm not surprised. They spent most of Monday covering it the initial incident at the Boston Marathon. I know Mike & Mike spent most of their show on Tuesday talking about it. This is essentially part two of the story.

F...u...c...k...

 

[ColonelColon]

We don't need to know why he did it, we need to be sure he wont do it again.

Risking even one officers life is not worth it.

These people may not be working alone. This isn't necessarily an isolated set of incidents.

 

[Freezie KO]

If they are REALLY foreigners who have been in the country for less than a year... what other terrorist attack does this most resemble? A few foreigners with overseas military training creating chaos in a big city over an extended period of time, that sounds like the Mumbai attack from November 2008.

Wikipedia on Mumbai:
"Ajmal Kasab, the only attacker who was captured alive, later confessed upon interrogation that the attacks were conducted with the support of Pakistan's ISI."

If these are Pakistani-trained, we're gonna have a shitstorm with Pakistan. We already gave them a pass for pretty clearly hiding bin Laden.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Well I don't know about you but I shove them up my ass.

You're on quite the roll this evening.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Reported that US authorities had contacted Pakistan about information regarding these individuals.

Like I said, Mumbai 2008.

 

[antonz]

Terror Cell makes the most sense and we know from the past Boston has been used as a staging ground prior.

Its why capturing white hat alive really is vital. If there is a cell his death allows the cell to slink back into the shadows.

Wow

 

[GasProblem]

This thread is crazy. New information every 5 minutes. And I should be working on my thesis

Hope they catch/kill this guy without anyone else getting hurt. I hope catch so they can interrogate him. Are they part of a cell etc.

And a BearCat s this thing right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenco_BearCat

 

[Arsenic Yellow]

its 5 am. Guess I am not going to get any sleep tonight.

You and me both good thing I got all my stuff done yesterday. Sleeping all day as soon as this is done. Every minute this lasts longer I get more and more anxious and feel like its going to end badly. If he's not apprehended by 9am est, I'm making my boyfriend stay home from work this is all too crazy. and would have a nervous breakdown waiting for him to get home.

 

[ThisWreckage]

It seems that they've planted a lot of explosives, but thank god none of them have exploded. I wonder if they have these things on timers or if they're simply duds

 

[TacticalFox88]

I always did ask if Obama would have to deal with a 9/11 type event in terms of scope...seems like it's coming to reality.

:/

Fucking wow.

 

[radrelic]

I'm going to veer off into tinfoil territory here but....

Could this be Pakistan's "revenge" for violating their sovereignty when we went after Bin Laden?

 

[Phire Phox]

Could I get a link to a good stream? Thanks

Yep, I've been fearing this was the case as well. Probably a sleeper cell at work

That's a pretty big leap for even your LEO friend to make

 

[Smiley90]

Unconfirmed info

No.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

So Black Hat is Italian.

 

[J-Rzez]

Not sure how these guys got all these devices set up without anyone noticing them. It sounds like a damned mine field out there.

 

[Lombaszko]

I work right down the street from the Arsenal mall, about to go to work. Glad I checked GAF. I'm staying home, hope everyone in Watertown is safe!

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Fuck large Mack truck?! Please... Don't be anything.

 

[Kevtones]

You want scary coincidence? I posted this earlier but here is a photo of Suspect #2 at the time he left his bomb. Note that it contains the youngest victim but also a young college-aged woman right beside him. Also note the woman's socks.


The same woman also appears in the clearest photograph taken of Suspect #2 before tonight's craziness, as she runs down the street. Meaning, she was in front of the bomb, laughing with her friends, before it exploded.

[East Lake]

How did these tards manage to only kill three people at the marathon with all this expertise?

 

[dragonelite]

So are they radical muslims or some other type of group(think breivik) just woke up.

 

[railGUN]

How the fuck do you wear sweaters?

Like Kris Kross.

 

[tajd]

whats this

There is a cell operating in the US ??????

 

[FalconSabre]

They really have to catch this guy alive. We can't let the trail end with him. This could all be smaller attacks leading up to a much bigger one if it truly is a cell.

 

[Veitsev]

Given our operations in Pakistan a terrorist cell originating from there would not surprise me.

 

[QisTopTier]

Can someone give me a quick rundown of what happened with the MIT officer D:

Yea... This is what worries me.

I thought this was some disgruntled person or someone uopset at something...

Now, this is getting serious...

So there may be more suspect. Lets hope this is false.

Pakistan, at least the official government isn't that stupid

Glad you checked in with us dude.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If you guys want to get away from cable news, most major networks are covering the story now.

 

[criesofthepast]

Well I can't stay awake any longer. Which means this will end any minute because I usually fall asleep as shit goes down.

Will catch up on the 100 pages I'll miss when I wake up.

 

[Realyn]

I don't know if the Sunil angle has been debunked. But the last name would check out with that region of the world (India-Pakistan).

A friend of mine, which last name is turkish, just became a father. The grand grand parents of the little one came to germany at about 1960.

In short: you guys are a disgrace.

 

[Kellen]

Oh man, I hope that its just a truck and nothing more than that.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

That's a pretty big leap for even your LEO friend to make

2 guys can't carry all those devices, or put them in all those different areas by themselves.

Old and not confirmed. The identity thing is really tiring.

Suspicious Mack truck? (scanner) Holy hell, one of those loaded with explosives would be horrific.

And he's kinda fat. Fattish. Chubby?

Revenge for the drone attacks seems more likely.
