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.

i think you might find that she didn't say that at all.  it may have in fact  been a quote of a tweet or suchlike. I was actually watching it and i didn't hear what you allege. trioli wouldn't say that. if she did it she would probably be removed. keep us posted.

15/04 Bloody Monday

At least 75 Iraqis were killed and 356 more were wounded in a series of attacks across the country. Only the far south and Iraqi Kurdistan were spared. Many of the attacks were apparently coordinated and occurred at about the same time this morning. They also came a few days ahead of local elections in most provinces. Nineva and Anbar province, both heavily Sunni, had their elections postponed by the Shi’ite-led government.

It has been mooted that the action may have something to do with the cdiscussion re the USA gun law reform and be an internal right wing group.... If it was in Iraq they would be called...the taliban

The silent victims

'31,537 people are killed by guns in the USA every year. We are turning this beautiful country into war zone,' she tweeted

Trioli did say it & to try to minimize the tragedy by citing Iraq was uncalled for & sickening.

Just what you expect from this person, she does nothing to hide her extreme leftist views & she should never have been brought back onto the ABC in this position or any other publicly funded position where she can spout her disgusting views.

As of this morning, the Saudi man has been completely cleared and the thinking is that it was an American citizen with a domestic agenda.

I wonder why it appears the 3000 that have been killed through gun violence are not considered newsworthy by the mainstream US media?????

ie using averages approximately

80 people were killed by guns yesterday in the US

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/03/29/295678/us-gun-violence-kills-3000-in-4-months/

More than 3,000 Americans have lost their lives in gun-related violence since the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in mid-December 2012, a new report says.

According to an interactive data collection project between Slate.com and the Twitter feed, @GunDeaths, at least 3,053 people have been killed by firearms across the US over the past three months.

The data prove that gun-related fatalities could even exceed the new figure, because @GunDeaths cannot collect all the weapon-related deaths in America.

Meanwhile, suicides, which comprise roughly 60 percent of gun deaths, are not typically reported.

On December 14, 2012, a 20-year-old man, identified as Adam Lanza, killed twenty children and six adults before pointing the gun at himself at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Nationwide polls revealed that the majority of Americans support a ban on assault weapons amid growing calls for stricter gun control measures.

The United States has experienced several mass killings over the past six months, with military-style assault weapons being the weapon of choice.

Every year, more than 30,000 people are shot and killed in the United States, and the year 2012 was a record-setting year for gun sales in the country.

About 4.5 million firearms are sold annually in the US.
