BREAKING: Reports of multiple explosions at Boston Marathon leaving dozens wounded.

Why is suddenly everyone only going crazy over this? What about that bomb blast in Middle east that killed 15 people that day? Or many people being burned in Burma a few weeks before. Every lives should be equal. Not fair to only emphasise on developed nations.

I've also seen three other of these "bag matching" suspect pictures, too. I suggest people watch this 6-minute documentary on Umbrella man:

So if a family member dies and a stranger dies, whose funeral do you go to?

You go to your families funeral.

It's not that the strangers life is less important, its just that the strangers life is less important to you personally.

America is the equivalent of a relative to the U.K so thats why we pay more attention to disasters in their country. Plus it has more an affect on the world tha iraq does, there is a saying "America catches a cold and the world sneezes".

Who was their source? You don't know, you're just speculating.

You'll have to eat your hat if they turn out to be right

Didn't Umbrella Man turn out to be Smoking Man in X-Files?

I do know their source.

CNN announced someone had been arrested.

Their source was Boston law enforcement who allegedly told them someone had been arrested in connection with the bombing.

But then Boston law enforcement and FBI announced there have been no arrests. (Also pointed out by another poster earlier in this thread)

It's quite possible that Boston PD and FBI are technically correct, but that someone has indeed been taken into custody of a sort.

The National Defense Authorisation Act of 2012 requires terrorist suspects on the mainland to be taken into military custody. Now, there are waivers of various sorts and it is at the discretion of the President ultimately, but Congress and the Republicans were adamant that they wanted terrorist suspects in the United States to be arrested by the military rather than civilian law enforcement.

The military can also throw a much heavier cloak of secrecy over its operations.

This is a bit of a silly debate (much of it relating to who is "right" over Guantanamo, whether this is a war or simply an action against criminals, etc) but the fact that more than one source have reported arrests, or imminent arrests, and the like, suggests to me that there is something to it.

The military custody scenario would fit many of the seemingly contradictory reports.

Edit: I also would not be surprised if the US is engaging in forms of psychological propaganda over whether or not an arrest has occurred, which would induce a greater degree of terrorist chatter as they try to verify reports of whether their agent has been taken into custody, which the NSA would no doubt be listening to very carefully (even if they can't decode it, traffic analysis can provide a great deal of information). Very much "do they know that we know", and trying to wrongfoot the organisation responsible, inducing various cells and agents to communicate more and thus increase the likelihood of detection

The military could also take someone into custody secretly, allowing them time to perhaps use some harsher interrogation techniques to see if they can get anything out of the suspect, before releasing them into law enforcement custody

I was actually thinking the same thing too.

They probably have got someone in custody or maybe they haven't.

Does make for an interesting conspiracy theory though. Gotta get my tinfoil hat out again.

Not really a conspiracy theory, as there's no conspiracy. Just a theory. Yep.

That's what they want you to think

its really hard to feel sad for america ..they killed 30 ppl in Afghan wedding a few days ago

What about all those things about "humanity" that people are shouting? I am not saying that you shouldn't care. I was referring that every disasters should be emphasised on equally.

April 15th: Titanic sunk
April 15th: Hillsborough Disaster

Thoughts and condolences with those affected.

April 15th: My younger sister's birthday!

She hates having all these disasters associated with her date of birth, especially since my parents once made a "joke" about her being another of those disasters.

Are you honestly saying you're surprised people care more about an attack in their own country than an attack in one overseas?

America is not in the UK!
