I'm actually surprised it took this long, over a decade of war the effects would inevitably show up at home. All my sympathies to Boston.
Good link on the AT-1 Charon, here's a Afghan smart card that has a quick reference to IED's as well. https://www.kwikpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Generic-Afghan-CSC_IED-BK-08012.jpg

The vast majority of terrorist incidents in the US are of domestic origin (perpetrated by US citizens) an relate to domestic political issues, I've seen nothing suggested to say that this was anything else. Quite the opposite, the news reports I've read draw more coincidences with domestic rather than international policies.

Tragic this stuff always happens when there in the middle of trying to get a bill passed

I meant IED's, a popular tool for insurgency/guerrillas. I agree, I believe this has more probability of a domestic origin; I'm just surprised that small AP ones haven't been used before in the US.

I didn't realize what had happened when I made my first post on this thread. I didn't hear it until I listened to the radio in the car this morning.
Holy shit. This is unbelievable. RIP to those who perished, and I wish well those who escaped it alive but harmed.
