More On The Boston Marathon Attack

Some follow up on yesterday's events:

From HeraldNet, a 78-year-old man knocked over by one of the explosions got back up and finished the marathon.

In the Boston Globe, columnist Kevin Cullen writes about a "perfect day" becoming evil.

From Atlas Shrugs, the Saudi man held as a suspect (and currently hospitalized) has been described as a "devout Muslim from Medina".

From Reuters, the bombs were carried in "dark heavy bags".

From Real Clear Politics, a former CIA terror analyst tells Chris Matthews that the type of bomb "has been a hallmark of Al Qaeda".

From the Washington Free Beacon, investigators are indeed probing for a link to Al Qaeda.

From CNN International, the Pakistani Taliban have denied responsibility.

From France24, two Saudi men injured in the bombing have been cleared.

From the Daily Caller, former Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) continues to argue that the bombings in Boston justify more government spending.

From the Daily Mail, a former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary claims that the Obama administration has cut its budget for domestic bombing prevention by 45%.  (Hmmm, perhaps Barney's on to something.)

And meanwhile, from the domestic side of CNN, a letter sent to the office of Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) has tested positive for ricin.
