That's kind of the calling card for terrorist bombing in other countries.

Or that the initial attack was meant to be much larger/widespread.

has that been confirmed?

Essentially a classic Criminal Minds episode come to real life.

I would guess that the number of devices makes it pretty obvious that there isn't just one bomber. I am Captain Obvious.

Hope this is precautionary:

CBS News is reporting that Secret Service agents have begun mobilizing at the White House.

I'd be really surprised if there are only two fatalities from this: https://vine.co/v/bFdt5uwg6JZ

All I've heard is that there were secondary devices. If there were, either they didn't explode, or they were intended to be delayed and were caught in time. Hard to say at this point.

Hope this is precautionary:

Probably. I think they are going to err on the side of caution with stuff like this.

The 'simplest' explanation would be some guy making an idiotic point on tax day

Swear a guy just said that one went off on the 3rd floor of one of the hotels in Boston near there.

Apparently police have used a "controlled explosion" to set off a 3rd device found.

More likely than North Korea for sure.
