When I was in Cuba over xmas we met a Dutch couple and hung out with them
in Havana.
The guy Ivo was a keen marathon runner, and talked about how he was
training hard (he was in his
late-50s) for the Boston marathon. We had email contact a while back and he
said he'd hurt his knee so maybe wasn't going.
Saw the news yesterday and my heart sank - fired off a quick email, his
wife replied, they were there,
but are both fine.

I know speculation is pointless but my gut feeling is that this is domestic
terrorism... I'm
going purely on the fact that any attacks by al qaida/Islamic terrorists
etc often seem to be 100 times worse/bigger.
Small-ish bombs in bins just doesn't seem their style. And I'm partly
guessing its domestic out of hope, because if it isn't
then some foreign land is about to get the crap bombed out of it.
