Terrorism attack in Boston revives US 9/11 fear

Published

on



One of the world’s most widely viewed sporting events, the annual Boston Marathon, was attacked on Tuesday, more than four hours into it, and after some runners had completed the race. Two bombs exploded close together near the finishing line, killing a child and two adults. Well over a hundred were injured, many severely. Hospital sources said they carried out amputations.

President Obama made this statement: “I’ve directed the full resources of the federal government to help state and local authorities protect our people, increase security around the United States, as necessary, and investigate what happened.”

The White House said the bombings would be treated as “an act of terror”. Emergency and security forces in Boston and other cities surged, notably in Washington and New York. The bombing brought back memories of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 to many people’s minds.

Witnesses said: “We saw the first bomb go off, and people, sorry, blow up in the street and then the one further down.”

“There were families all around us with kids yelling and screaming, I mean….”

“It was loud, it was really, really loud, and then just people, chaos everywhere.”

The attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon happened 12 years ago. 9/11 saw 3,000 lives lost, staggering the nation. That was the worst death toll to terrorism the United States has ever suffered, at foreign hands — Islamist enemies.

But the US has also been attacked from within. Six years before 9/11, far-right militant and US citizen Timothy McVeigh set off a truck packed with explosives in front of a federal government building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and wounding more than 500.

The same movement killed two and wounded 112 one year later, at the Olympic Games in Atlanta.

There is some speculation that an American anti-government group cherishing the constitutional right to bear arms and against Washington’s fiscal policies might be behind the Boston attacks, which came on Patriots’ Day in Massachusetts.

Mark Davis, euronews. “We are joined now by our US correspondent Stefan Grobe, who is in Boston at the entrance to Boylston Street where both explosions took place yesterday. Stefan, what’s the atmosphere in downtown Boston right now? What’s going on there?”

Stefan Grobe, Boston: “Well Mark this is a very, very strange atmosphere. On the one hand the city is still under shock but on the other hand as you can see around me there are signs of what appears to be normal activity.

‘There are still most of the runners here present in Boston. I have spoken to some of the European runners who were there yesterday they said they are still sticking to their travel plans. They want to stay here until the weekend and enjoy the rest of their stay here in Boston. So very, very mixed feeling in Boston right now.”

euronews: “The FBI and the head of Homeland Security have spoken. They say they have no suspects, they don’t know if this is the work of home-grown or foreign terrorists. What do we know, Stefan?”

Stefan Grobe: “The authorities here are really at the absolute starting point.
Now they are looking in to a lot of various issues here. They are monitoring video surveillance cameras, they are checking photographs, they are checking videos, privately taken videos. They are doing a lot of things but so far there is no clear lead here.”

euronews: “President Obama yesterday warned against jumping to conclusions. Many Americans, understandably, will have. What do you think is more frightening for Americans, a domestic or a foreign threat?”

Stefan Grobe: “Well this is the fifty-million dollar question. It is absolutely, very difficult to say what is more difficult for Americans. Is it a another al-Qaeda related attack or is it home-grown, a home made attack by an American terrorist? What comes to mind of course is the Oklahoma city bombing back in 1995 which came as a big shock to Americans.

‘On the other hand we all know the tragedy of 9/11. And Americans have believed these days were over that for more than 10 years there has been some sort of normalcy, you know a creeping into their lives after the fear, after the tragedy and now they are realising that terror is back and all the difficult times and all the difficult thoughts are back so it’s very, very difficult to say what Americans wish. A foreign or a domestic attack.”

euronews: “Stefan Grobe in Boston thanks very much for joining us we will hear from you soon.”

Stefan Grobe: “Thank you Mark!”

    You have no points to discredit. I only bothered typing a comment because of your petty insults you gave to Harry palm on the top comments my thoughts were "wow what a douchebag" when I clicked on your channel and saw you were Irish it made much more sense

    April 25, 2024 at 8:56 pm

    That is a reflection on the entire community of paranoid conspiracy theorists. People who fire from the hip about things they don't know about. You're a fool.

    You can set your country as anything you like. Just like you can put any info out there and dummies with a preconceived idea of how things work, will use any info they can to justify their points.

    The dummy Iroquois wanted to discredit my points. He did the most lazy of research and scanned Ireland. Without thought, spewed an idiotic point, not realizing that it wasn't applicable.

    I can only assume he put the same amount of effort in the rest of his drivel.

    A bomb attack taking place inches away from hundreds of police and bomb scouters at the finish line of a major event on Patriot's Day? Already predicted to happen, blind eyes have been turned by american authorities who have allowed your citizens to be annihilated at will. With much evidence now pointing towards a higher motive, american citizens are still unable to see the truth behind this situation..

  17. @EmperorEva0001

    "Just because someone is educated it doesn't mean that he is contributing to a society or economy, in fact the people who condemned the USA to a decline had a very good education"
    I think you're overestimate your own echo, right Polish guy living in Germany on the German taxpayer money, right?
    Now you finally know the difference btwn Fox News and Fox Broadcast, left-wing pinhead loon Polish guy?
    Go ahead, spam the comment, who the hell cares, anybody can read any spamed comment.

    "I hate the mass media"
    Obviously I agree with you but it's called Main Stream Media (MSM), all (left-wing liberal) media BUT Fox News.

    Yes it was one thing I feared the most was another attack in my country and Monday it came true, the atmosphere was the same as it was 11 1/2 years ago. I surely said to myself I do not ever want to see this again, it was very hard to watch seeing people running and screaming in the streets just brought me back to that Tuesday September morning. I' AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.

  23. @ChrisRoadWarrior

    April 25, 2024 at 8:56 pm

    Timothy McVeigh was EXECUTED in 2001, what about TERRORIST Anders Breivik in very peaceful Norway?
    So you Euronews blame ("speculations") this TERRORIST attack on the 2nd Amendment and the "right-wing extremist" Tea Party "movement", right?
    GOTCHA

  24. @EmperorEva0001

    April 25, 2024 at 8:56 pm

    You're pathetic, and i feel sorry for you.

  25. @ChrisRoadWarrior

    April 25, 2024 at 8:56 pm

    Very first SUCCESSFUL TERRORIST attack on U.S. soil SINCE Sept 11, 2001, and it happened under the watch of the community organizer who came to power as the anti-Bush in everything including homeland security policies, he obviously wonders "why ME, a Nobel Peace-Prize Winner, why a terrorist attack in my own country when everybody LOVES me more than anybody else, I'm not Bush and that should be enough to stop all terrorist attacks in my country and abroad, Libya included"!
    Poor Obamamama…

    Actually it is a herony against media and conservatives!

    You're delusional.

    April 25, 2024 at 8:56 pm

    this title is misleading, most americans are waking up to the fact that false flag attacks are used to make the people accept the loss of their freedoms.

    like that idiot bush jr said, "fool me once, u cant get fooled again."
