Deadly bombs rock Boston

Terrible..... 

Why do they do this and what do they hope to achieve

Chaos as twin blasts rock Boston Marathon

Two bombs have exploded near the finish of the Boston Marathon, killing two people, injuring scores of others and sending authorities rushing to help wounded spectators.

There was a large explosion and a white flash. It blew us all back onto each other. It was so loud, I still can’t hear out of my right ear. I was crawling on the sidewalk, and my cell phone blew out of my hand. There were some really hurt people.

The explosions occurred as recreational runners were finishing, at just before 3pm local time (5am AEST). Television footage shows two explosions occurring metres from each other near Copely Square as competitors crossed the finish line.

Runners fell to the ground, which flowed with blood. Police arrived with bomb-sniffing dogs and hotels were put on lockdown. Reports say as many as 90 people were wounded, with some having limbs blown off.

Has there been an official confirmation yet, that the two incidents are connected? the article I read from the New York Times said: 

A police spokesman, Dave Procopio, told reporters that one suspect was being taken to an area hospital and another is “on the loose.” Explosives were involved, he confirmed, and bomb disposal units were active. When asked about links to Monday’s bombings at the Boston Marathon, he said, “We’re investigating that, and the F.B.I. is investigating that.”

It's ridiculous, isn't it. Everything you read tells you something different. I think I'm just going to sit back and wait till there's something official.

I even read in one account  that one 'suspect', was searched, stripped naked, taken into custody and then released.:O

Ele I think so, one channel says one thing and another something else.

Will just wait till tomorrow.
