Friday, 26 April 2013 - Perpetual Target So according to this BBC news article (though all the major news networks are reporting it), the two punks behind the Boston Marathon bombings "spontaneously" decided that New York City would be next. The only problem was the 26-year-old and 19-year-old Russian brothers had no way of getting themselves and their explosives down here, and hence they hijacked a car which is when it all fell apart for them. They realised the car was low on fuel and ordered the driver to stop at a nearby gas station, after allegedly revealing to him they were the marathon bombers. The driver managed to escape and immediately alerted police, who swooped on the brothers within minutes. A car chase ensued during which the bombs intended for the Big Apple were instead hurled at the pursuing police. Skip forward a bit and the police had the car stopped, and a good old fashioned shoot out in suburban Boston broke out. Both brothers were wounded - the eldest fatally, not helped by the fact the youngest got back in the car and ran him over while attempting to flee hehe. Somehow the youngest did manage to get away, but was in custody less than 24 hours later. While being interviewed by the FBI from his hospital bed, the prink revealed Times Square was the intended target for their next bombing. Had they succeeded, I likely would have heard it from my office, or may have even been cycling through there as I often do. It's hardly the first time Times Square has been targeted, for example (almost exactly three years ago), and for example. The whole city really is a perpetual target for a terrorist attack in some form or another.
