I learned of the attack early this morning with my "daybreak coffee" - 6 a.m. over here, midnight on the East Coast.

I was waiting for someone to open this thread, didn't dare do it myself.

One thing I can say... AFTER I offer my condoleances to any and all who've suffered a loss - is that this is NOT "another Al Qaeda job".

Quite the opposite, this is work of either :

- an amateur, who distributed his explosives in three, four (five?) locations instead of producing ONE massive "whooomp!" of a bomb explosion;

- alternatively, someone who knows quite well what he's doing, and aims at alarming the population and creating a sense of danger and the [hysterical] need for "security! more security!" when actually all that was required was a careful eye and a grasp of things by local security forces,
no more than you would at any airport nationwide.

For the first explosion caused a "mere" (please forgive the expression) three casualties, when any amateur terrorist wanting to prove his point could have caused ten times as many.

Sorry, but this is the terroristic equivalent to a hold-up with a toy gun... Looks awful, potentially could have been a whole lot worse,
but was intentionally played down to cause maximum alarm at "minimal" collateral damage.

Again, with my most sincere condoleances.

Liberals, that's who. The very first thing that came to mind was Occupy and Bill Ayers, never let a crisis go to waste is the liberal mantra. What is really going to be interesting is if this becomes an open border issue if it is found that Occupy did not, in fact, do this.

If it was foreign nationals who came in through Mexico I see the lid finally blowing off the media embargo of anything negative against liberals.

Bomb sniffing dogs on scene Prior, announcements Prior, Its a drill, its a drill,, no need to be alarmed.

With the new background checks on firearms he was probably deigned getting an AR15, several clips, and a few cases of ammo, so he went with explosives instead, he just miss-calculated on placement of them for maximum damage.

That's just one of my theories anyways.

No offence meant, my dear, but Italy has endured more civil wars (without the Capital initials) Revolutionary wars (with the Caps) and Wars against Foreign Oppressors...
Ever since Napoleon invaded Italy, there have been bombings against "X", against who is against, etc. just like a very gory Monty Python movie.

H3LL, we had OUR anonymous Unabomber placing charges in yoghurt bottles in supermarkets before you even had yours !  

It's not a matter of "being a Wise 4ss", it's just a matter of "having seen it all before".

From 1972 to the late 1980's we even had right wiing terrorists and left wing terrorists bombing each other's supporting neighborhoods... the Aug.1980 bombing of a major train station in Bologna placed by a "black team" (leftist terrorists using right wing tactics and materiel).

Add a bit of Machiavelli...

So, no need to feel hurt or offended, but before you can say "they did it" it'll be a looong investigation.  

OK, I read your supposed source.  To me, nothing but another nut job web site to feed upon people who love this off the wall stuff.  But, since it's a web site on the internet, it's got to be believable, right?
