I live in Massachusetts<\/a>. The Boston Marathon<\/a> is part of the Massachusetts tradition. It was a shock to see terrorism come to the Marathon.<\/p>\n

Boston.com<\/a> posted some of the details of the blast today.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Investigators have also recovered components of the bombs<\/a>, enabling them to determine what they consisted of two 6-liter pressure cookers<\/a> packed with nails, ball bearings<\/a>, and other metal. The makeshift bombs were placed in black duffel bags, the official said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Putting nails, ball bearings, and metal objects in these pressure cookers assures that there will be serious injuries. This type of bomb has been used in Iran<\/a>, Iraq<\/a>, Nepal<\/a>, Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bombs with this type of shrapnel have been used by Hezbollah<\/a> against Israel for a number of years.<\/p>\n

Please remember them in your prayers.\"Enhanced<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
