Jerusalem,
Israel --- April 15, 2013
Shortly after terror bombs exploded
and murdered at least three people at the Boston Marathon, members
of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah were reported to be dancing
in the streets of Gaza, handing out candies to passerbys.
A
number of Palestinians had danced in the street in celebration
of the 9/11 attacks in 2001 on the World Trade Center and Washington
resulting in the deaths of thousands of Americans.
The
head of an Islamic terror organization in Jordan - the Muslim
Salafi group says hes happy to see the horror in America
after the bombing attacks in Boston.
American
blood isnt more precious than Muslim blood, said Mohammad
al-Chalabi, who was convicted in an al-Qaeda-linked plot to attack
US and other Western diplomatic missions in Jordan in 2003.
Let
the Americans feel the pain we endured by their armies occupying
Iraq and Afghanistan and killing our people there, he said
today.
A Mideast
counterterrorism official based in Jordan said the blasts carry
the hallmark of an organized terrorist group, like al-Qaeda.
The
New York Post has reported that at least 12 people are
dead and over 100 injured including up to 15 with amputated
limbs after two bombs ripped through the finish line of
the Boston Marathon.
Police and FBI were guarding a person of interest at a local hospital,
according to a New York Post report confirmed by Fox
News. The person, who sources said was 20 years old, had severe
burns, but authorities had not determined whether the person was
a victim or a perpetrator. Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis
said during a press conference that no suspect has yet been charged.
The Boston terror bombings took place just before 3 p.m. and reports
of two other unexploded bombs were found near the scene reinforced
that this was indeed a terrorist attack. Intelligence officials
told The Associated Press two unexploded devices were being
dismantled. Competitors and race organizers were crying as they
fled the bloody chaos, while some witnesses reported seeing victims
with lost limbs.
"Somebody's leg flew by my head," a spectator, who gave
his name as John Ross, told the Boston Herald. I
gave my belt to stop the blood.
The first two bombings occurred at 2:50 p.m. nearly five
hours after the marathon began about 50 to 100 yards apart,
according to Davis. A third explosion occurred near the John F.
Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in the Columbia Point
section of Dorchester, several miles southeast of the marathon's
finish line, at around 4:15 p.m. Police could not say if it was
related to the earlier explosions.
The FBI, which was treating the bombing as a terrorist investigation,
was analyzing video from several area surveillance cameras.
Over twenty-six people were transported to Brigham and Women's
Hospital, including a 3-year-old, who was then taken to a children's
hospital. A doctor at the hospital said at least two of the patients
there are in critical condition and that some have burns and injuries
that will likely require amputations.
Witnesses heard booms that sounded like two claps of thunder near
the finish line inside the Fairmount Copley Plaza Hotel, according
to multiple local reports. The terror attack unfolded as the city
marked the 238th annual Patriot's Day, commemorating the anniversary
of the Battles of Lexington and Concord at the beginning of the
Revolutionary War.
President
Obama said Monday that those responsible will "feel the full
weight of justice."
The President assured that the administration is mobilizing its
"full resources" to help investigate and provide security.
The President addressed the US from the White House briefing room
just hours after the bombing attacks in Boston.
Obama has been in contact with Massachusetts officials regarding
the fatal terror attack and has directed his administration to
provide "whatever assistance is necessary."
A White House official said the president called Boston Mayor
Tom Menino and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick earlier Monday
to "express his concern for those who were injured and to
make clear that his administration is ready to provide needed
support as they respond to the incident."
Obama was briefed by Homeland Security adviser Lisa Monaco and
other members of his senior staff Monday afternoon, as well as
by FBI Director Robert Mueller and Homeland Security Secretary
Janet Napolitano.
Our thoughts
and prayers go out to everyone impacted by this incident in Boston,
especially the families and loved ones of those injured,"
said US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. "Federal,
state, and local law enforcement agencies continue to respond,
and at the Presidents direction, the Department of Homeland
Security is providing any support necessary in this ongoing investigation.
We encourage the public to be vigilant, and to listen to direction
from state and local officials.
Officals
in Jerusalem expressed regret for the senseless loss of life in
Boston and declared that the people of Israel had the people of
Boston in their thoughts and prayers. Israel
Humanitarian Aid stated that if needed, they would fly to
Boston to provide assistance to first responders and the terror
victims. Please share www.Israel4Boston.com.
