Reports of New York airspace being closed.

The News a medium to gawp at tragedy rather than reporting actual news?

regardless hope it is not as bad it looks at this stage for the victims

New York on alert.  Cleveland has FBI activity in the last half hour as well.  Sigh.

Marathon's official account
tweets: There were two bombs that exploded near the finish line in today's Boston Marathon. We are working with law enforcement to understand what exactly has happened.




Also, authorities confirm carrying out a controlled explosion shortly in Boston

'Multiple' devices found. Police carrying out controlled explosions and detonations.


I'll stop doing this if people don't want to know more and I'll just put this live update up:

2 dead, 23 injured. Several unexploded devices reported too.

Looks like internal "gripe" group type of thing to me rather than intl terrorism

Boston officials say there has been a "third incident" at the JFK Library but are not sure if it is related to the two other explosions.

Mark Mardell on Newsnight suggesting there's word in US Intelligence that this might not be Islamist Militants, but could well be home grown (à la Oklahoma).
