When you step back and REALLY review what has happened (from point A....the Marathon finish line....to Mid-point, the lock-down
of BOSTON and surrounding area....(point Z to be determined yet)......it does NOT point to TWO young adults being the SOLE
perps.......( JMO) I FIRMLY believe that officials want to "contain" the mass hysteria that would result IF they released ALL REAL
information.....we probably will NEVER have the full details. (the reason....because THAT would mean that the public would perceive
a systemic FAILURE in it's efforts to provide "security" and safety. JMO
To me at least, locking down Boston seems excessive. Maybe they are trying to capture a whole terror cell. Or maybe they have evidence that he might have access to much more deadly weapons.
If you fear he is going to bomb (chemical? biological?) the city centre, a lack of suitable victims might save many lives.
But I wonder if this trend will continue? If a hit and run driver kills a family in a crosswalk, will Denver lock down until they find the driver?

I don't think (only opinion) there is a terror cell. The older brother became radicalized over the internet... numerous links and videos from his social media pages points to that... the older brother is named after a great Muslim warrior Timur ("It is alleged that Timur's tomb was inscribed with the words, "When I rise from the dead, the world shall tremble.""

) the explosive devices were low tech... a terror cell would have funded them better... the older brother was a follower (on the internet) of a radical Australian iman... the list goes on... no... I don't think there is a terror cell... but the motivation is the same as if they were trained by Al Qaeda themselves.
