Re: Boston Bombing

Re: Boston Bombing
 

As we seem to have returned to talking about the religion of peace, love, and public amputations ... I'm wondering what the odds are that it was an Islamic terrorist group which was responsible. Still seems a little low tech. It's not as easy to park a van full of high explosive in Boston as it is in, say, Kabul or Damascus or anywhere in Pakistan.

By the way it crossed my mind ... short trip, eh ... that making a nuclear bomb is not all that difficult ... all you need is a can of the good stuff ... weapons grade stuff. Pay a visit to Radio Shack, and, bingo, you are in business. Oh, some assembly required.;) I was expecting the next big attack to be nuclear. There's also enough second hand warheads, already assembled, in Russia. I suspect lots of them are for sale. You know, some entrepreneur who wants to raise cash in order to buy a Premier League team. Perhaps terrorist groups have despaired of the BIG demonstration, and are reduced to using pressure cookers in order to express their love for god.

God a touchy subject for you then Eric? I guess so - you are afterall a God Member.

I expect Boston was an Islamic group. The photos look like it, and I don't believe they can organise anything larger these days without being uncovered.

Re: Boston Bombing
 

So God member Eric,:D Yeh can't beat a know it all,that knows nowt.;) These bombers must be crapping themselves,if hes on there tail.:D

Re: Boston Bombing
 

They don't need large. I think lots of small attacks would be more scary than a large one every few years.

I think America has been very lucky (and the UK). I think it would be almost impossible to stop a small group (3 or 4) who decide between themselves to do something like this. Its when there is a large group involved with the strings being pulled from abroad that the authorities manage to uncover it.

Our borders are so open almost anyone could walk in and blow us up.

Re: Boston Bombing
 

They haven't wasted much time in coming up with two dodgy looking suspects from Mondays bombing, both with a middle eastern look about them, over this side of the pond we'd still be pondering whether or not we were infringing their human rights:rolleyes:

Re: Boston Bombing
 

I say this only as an observation and with a little sprinkling of irony Neil :rolleyes:

Boston of course has massive roots back to a Terrorist organisation just across the Irish sea to us and it is on record massive contributions were sent across from there to support them. Indeed even now the Orange White and Green tri-colour is very prominent over there, maybe not now but they did used to go round with Republican collecting tins in sympathetic pubs and bars.

Re: Boston Bombing
 

It's America, it doesn't matter if they are the ones or not they just need to fit someone up to make the locals feel good about it. They are terrorists so have no rights in the US except the right to a free trip to Cuba

Re: Boston Bombing
 

Oh no now you have done it!!

Our local conspiracy theorist will be on soon saying it was a revenge attack by some Manc's with a pressure cooker full of Black Cat bangers for the 1996 Manchester bombing (unless she thinks it was a Manchester City council secret plan to regenerate the centre of Manchester.
