    Eyewitness: Authorities Announced “Drill” Before Boston Explosions


    An eyewitness to the two explosions at the Boston Marathon today said that a “drill” was repeatedly announced before the bombs exploded and that he “thought it was odd” bomb sniffing dogs were in place before the blast.
    Image: Twitter

    University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15 News, ““They kept making announcements on the loud speaker that it was just a drill and there was nothing to worry about. “It seemed like there was some sort of threat, but they kept telling us it was just a drill.”
    The news station also reports that Stevenson “thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.”

    Stevenson then describes hearing the explosions as he ran away from the scene, having just completed the marathon.
    If this report is accurate, it clearly suggests there could have been some degree of prior knowledge of the bombing, which killed two people and injured at least 23.
    The fact that the explosions were preceded and overlapped by a”drill” of an almost identical nature mirrors other major terror attacks, such as the 7/7 bombings in London.

    [Update]:
    It is important to emphasize that the New York Times recently reported that most of the recent domestic terror plots in the United States “were facilitated by the F.B.I.,” suggesting that today’s incident in Boston may have been part of such an operation.

    It remains to be seen how the media and the Obama administration will exploit this incident depending who gets the blame, but Rahm Emanuel’s “never let a serious crisis go to waste” advisory is sure to be in play.[/Update]

    More on this story as it develops…..

    UM Coach: Bomb Sniffing Dogs Were at Start, Finish Lines for “Drill”

    University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines.

    “They kept making announcements on the loud speaker that it was just a drill and there was nothing to worry about,” Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15. “It seemed like there was some sort of threat, but they kept telling us it was just a drill.”

    Stevenson had just finished the marathon. His wife had been sitting in one of the seating sections where an explosion went off, but thankfully she left her seat and was walking to meet up with him.

    “There was just smoke, another explosion went off,” Stevenson said. “We all started running. There were people crying.”

    Stevenson said there was no question in his mind that this was an intentional act.

    Local 15 News is talking with more locals who were taking part in the run. Tune in for live coverage beginning at 5 p.m.

    Maybe the Boston PD got a tip, and did not want to panic anyone?

    Sounds precisely like what happened in OKC just prior to the Murrah Building bombing - Sheriff's bomb squad was scouring the area at least as early as 7:30 AM that day.

    Obama Addresses Nation


    Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/15/2013 17:59 -0400





    At 6:10 pm, Barack Obama is expected to address the nation over today's explosions at the Boston marathon. It is unclear what additional info he can provide at this time as there is little to no incremental information available, aside from the conviction everywhere that this was a terrorist attempt (which likely means war against someone is imminent), but watch it live below in any case.
