Pieces of Bomb's Circuit Board Recovered; May Yield Clues

We can only hope.

There were many horrors made yesterday, but among the worst was that done to this family.

This was the eight year old boy murdered:

His entire family was decimated by the bomb. I'll refer you to the link above; I don't want to quote it.

Let me clean up a few incorrect claims I transmitted yesterday. As you all know by now, the NYPost's reporting of "at least 12 dead" seems wrong. Perhaps they were estimating that the large number of amputees either were dead or would soon be dead. 2 confirmed deaths + 10 amputations = 12.

But even so, it was wrong at the time, and many of the victims of maiming will live. The death toll will undoubtedly still rise but as of now it's two.

Also, it's not true that the feds shut down the cell phone system to stop the system from being used to detonate additional bombs.

In case you missed the earlier mention, that Saudi national who is (was?) a person of interest is looking less interesting.

[O]n Tuesday morning, one law enforcement official said investigators had determined that the man, who was injured in the blast and was questioned at the hospital, was not involved in the attack.
