I hear you, but given the reports of the kinds of injuries sustained by the bomb, it seems like the intent may have been to wound more than to kill. The bombs went off low and many people will likely have limbs amputated by the blast or have to have limbs amputated. On Boston's NPR they're saying that at least one of the people dead is very likely a child. As I mentioned in this thread, Boston is known for not being great on the security front, particularly at Logan airport and the various riots that have happened over the last decade among other incidents. A lot of my friends are in Boston and as far as I know, none of them are physically hurt, but I can tell you that terrorism or not, people are terrified.
