Separate explosion hits JFK library in Boston - police
Police have confirmed a third explosion in Boston. This time at the JFK Library, there have yet been no reports of deaths or injuries. Earlier two devices exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing two people and injuring over two dozen.

Boston Police Commissioner says it is so far unclear if the Boston Marathon explosions are related to what is now being called an "incendiary device", at the JFK Library.http://rt.com/usa/library-blast-police-boston-914/

The director of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum says that a 3 p.m. fire inside the building's mechanical room was not caused by a device and is apparently not related to the explosions at the Boston Marathon finish line.

Tom Putnam, the director of the JFK Library, said that the incident was confined to a mechanical room near the archive section of the library.

Cellphone service was shut down in the Boston area to prevent any possible remote detonations of explosives, a law enforcement official said. The official was speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.

Cell phone service has been shut down in Boston.

Overloaded or shut down?

Considering that EMS use cell phones in addition to their radios, excessive public cell use could be problematic. Can they restrict cell use only to certain users?

Some freedom of speech advocates think it is a system overload not a government shut down.

NY POST is ID a Saudi National as a suspect in the #Boston marathon bombing. He is under guard at a Boston Hospital http://www.nypost.com/p/news/nationa...9uC2PDGIjYBalO ?

it says this, which BPD already says is not true
Investigators have a suspect ? a Saudi Arabian national ? in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.

Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.

Fox News reported that the suspect suffered severe burns.http://www.nypost.com/p/news/nationa...9uC2PDGIjYBalO

I hope the media is going to be responsible in reporting this event.

So far.....NOT SO MUCH.

Re: Two explosions at finish line of Boston Marathon

Cell phone service has been shut down in Boston.

Apparently the Associated Press just reversed themselves in this claim.

We are seeing TERRIBLE main stream media coverage of this event.
