And guess which city NORAID was based in?

Yep, you guessed it. Boston.

It's funny how the Bostonians funded the IRA for years but then complain when terrorism like they were funding hits their city.

Taking it a little too far. Best reel yourself in before you go off the deep end.

Keep attributing the actions of a few to an entire city who just suffered a tragedy.

You're a fucking twat.

I agree. they should just quite complaining shrug it off and admit that they deserved it.

domestic nutballs were likely behind this, considering the security surrounding this event, only a white face would go unnoticed. Mind you the delayed blast was definitely meant to hit first res ponders. I hope that they find everyone who had anything to do with this or any knowledge of what was coming

You are either certifiably insane or a complete idiot.

It's highly unlikely that the IRA would hit a town that for generations supplied most of it's blood-and-gun money. If the IRA hit anything these days they'd be more likely to nail the Thatcher funeral procession in London than they would a target in the US. The narrowbacks in Boston and New York were their lifeline for too many years for the IRA or any of their associated groups to hurt where their funding and supplies came from. It'd be highly improbable that any of the Protestant reactionary groups would have done this in revenge against American Irish Catholics either, not after so many years of relative peace. And the Protestants always kept their own activities local within Ulster and never developed much of a history of attacking Catholic targets outside of Northern Ireland at all.

Relative silence from the one that perpetrated this + all the relative hallmarks of a lone wolf acting outside of an organized cell and command structure = right-wing domestic American terrorist in my opinion. Muslims would have started bragging about this from the minute the bombs went off, but Tim McVeigh said nothing and quietly tried to escape into the background as soon as he finished off in Oklahoma City before he got caught. The bigger questions now are will this guy be caught and is this the beginning of something larger. Backpack and car bombs, even in the age of CCTV cameras being everywhere, are relatively cheap and easy to deploy and highly effective when they go off. I was always surprised that Al Qaeda never followed 9/11 with a car-bombing campaign given the number of soft and easy targets available in any large American city.

I'm just wondering (I really don't know), how could the explosion further down the street affect first responders? Are you suggesting the timing failed? Even so, that second explosion was pretty far from the first one... I'm not sure I'm really getting it.

delayed detonation will get people flooding in to help the wounded or nail those fleeing the initial explosion. The delays are intentional to maximize casualties and terror. People won't know where, or if another blast is coming

The distance between the two and timing doesn't suggest that. However, I'd be curious to see where the UN detonated bomb was. That might support the suggestion
