More than one location for the explosions...per Fox News

also reporting devices found.

so their first assumption of "gas leak explosion" is probably ruled out now.

It looks like they've got most of the injured transported out already, but they're evacuating other buildings and areas.

I guess these will be my words from now on to eternity, but seriously, what is wrong with some people? I have to say this all the time now. My thoughts go out to the victims . This is so sad!

I would first guess this to be domestic terrorism.

I would first guess this to be domestic terrorism.

I would too, it just seems coincidental this follows all the crap from NK. I don't care if someone is left or right or whatever- there is never any excuse for taking lives like this.

I would first guess this to be domestic terrorism.

I'd be inclined to agree.

The area was thoroughly patrolled by bomb squads and bomb dogs earlier in the day.

They've even asked the news crew to leave the area for safety reasons. There's heavy security always but they've never had even an incident before.

Another live link:
Reported talking about seeing the bomb sniffing dogs in the morning... they secured the street before allowing people on it.

Horrible!! My heart and my prayers go out to the victims and their families!! My hubby thinks this is another terrorist attack (not of the domestic type). I hope he's wrong - even though it's bad either way! God Bless those poor victims!
