Even under the threat of getting brigged for continued offtopic, I just wish to offer my condolences.

Since I have no idea who might have done it nor a political agenda, I'm sorry to say I can't contribute to the thread's topic and therefore will now take my leave. Sorry again to disturb this thread with the offtopic.

No one else knows who did this or why so I do not see how that bars you from posting whatever you feel like posting.

hmm, april 15, 2003 or exactly 10 years before the bombing was the day U.S. forces captured Tikrit. Tikrit was the last major town captured in the invasion and Saddam Hussein's hometown. Coincidence?

Complaining about meandering topics in GT? You must be new here.

While what I wrote was true and my actual feelings and reactions, I was trying to hint something else too.

If it crosses the whacky-tresshold, then yes. And in this case it certainly did.

I did feel that you did not mean what you said about the victims.As to the other part that just happens in GT though I'm sure you know that some people just cant help themselves.

It's not all that difficult actually...just don't break any of the forum rules.

That is the expectation of the forum owner of anyone and everyone that posts.

It changes every year based on the Jewish calendar.It was on April 15th this year Jewish holidays start at the sunset of the previous day(14th).

Name of the BPD's PoI who is at Brigham Hospital has been leaked:



Photos of PoI:



(If this person is innocent let that last photo be a warning not to put dumb _____ like that on your Facebook!) :03:

I don't know if he is related somehow to Ahmad Al Harbi of the Ahmad Al Harbi Group (note slightly different spelling that maybe the result of transliteration). This group was linked to funding al-Qaida back in 2002.

Stealhead 04-16-13 02:48 PM
Al Harbi or is nothing more than an Arab surname that name alone signifies nothing it can be spelled either way.

I am not saying that he is involved or not though the fact there has been nothing official about this person coming from the government even to imply that they consider him a POI,witness,or suspect implies to me that either people are blowing the fact that he was a Saudi that at might have been of some interest (or witness depending on the media source) or for some reason the Feds do not wish to say anything yet.I think that the former is most likely the case.

Doesn't stop many Americans from posing with their guns. :hmmm: Or indeed, me from posing with an L85A2.

Anyway, BPD said yesterday that the reports that they had a man in hospital under custody were false, and yet today those false reports are still circulating. It's almost as bad as the photo of a little girl going around facebook asking people to pray for her as she was a victim of the bombing when she was in fact nowhere near Boston at the time and was, in fact, running in another race in Virginia sometime last year.

Even though the President have warned us from speculating, some of my friends have already some suspects, muslims offcourse

In some of the thread I wrote that there are no evidence that point towards some islamic terrorgroups so far

I say let the police do their job in peace. I'm 110 % assure that they will find the perpetrator

x2 :yep: Sadly in this day and age it's natural that the first fingers will be pointed at Muslims, just as when something bad happens in a Muslim country it's usually blamed on the west. That's how it goes, but either way, stirring up panic and hatred when no-one knows who did it is counter-productive, but that's never stopped society before.
