Report: Boston bomber used at least one pressure-cooker IED

Report: Boston bomber used at least one pressure-cooker IED. “Terrorists have been using them for more than a decade, most frequently in Nepal, Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan. …a very crude version was part of the car-bomb attempt in Times Square in 2010.” BTW, the Times Sq bomb was the one that Nitwit Bloomberg thought was planted by an ObamaCare protestor. Projection!

  • OK, so terrorists have been using them for decades, tells me that it must have been a TEA Party person that did this!

    • I'm on business in the UK and the BBC has been insinuating that the bombing may be connected to tax day, the 20 anniversary of the Branch Davidian massacre, and/or the 18 anniversary of Oklahoma City. To its credit, the BBC did interview Michael Sheuer, the former head of the counter-terrorism department at CIA. He said it was Islamist and motivated by us killing Muslims all over the world....drones....he didn't say drones but I think that is what he was suggesting. He sort of sounded like a blame America first guy (which is why the BBC likely spoke to him) but his logic was sound.
