How and where were they obtained?
Skipping "who" for "how" for a moment...the explosives?

A device can be made from items bought from Wal-Mart and Home Depot... Pipes, wires, and screws along with the materiall agents for explosive can be Obtain from Home Depot daily, and gun powder from shells that would be used in a shotgun can be bought at Wal-Mart... The timing device or cellphone device can also be obtain at Wal-Mart or your local Supermarket like Kroger Martket Place...
So where can it be obtain?
Also if you do not believe me then google Bomb making materials and realize you most likely have enough stuff. Around your house to make a small bomb...
Also side note remove our personal opinion of each other and keep this civil...

I haven't heard anything about the type of explosive used. But explosives are incredibly easy to make, using readily available instructions online, or just chemistry books from the library. High explosives might be more difficult,since they're touchy, but you don't need high explosives to kill soft targets like humans. Pretty much any commonplace explosive will hurl shrapnel fast enough to do that.

this is another area of "not much being revealed"
the few things published consist of
- very powerful/compact explosives - small enough to fit in a backback, if that line of inquiry is valid
- the "killing effect" was obtained with ball-bearings, apparently (the 1996 olympic bomber used nails)

1. (last point first) Since you did...I will.
2. True...but how many boxes of shells would it take? I don't know, just asking.
GordonGecko
President
Well, not being FBI Behaviorial Science, I'd still guess that the TYPE of explosive used must be some indicator of a pattern that would lead to suspect TYPES as well. Although I've heard some who link shrapnel bombs with jihadists, versus "simple" explosives with guys like McVeigh....I don't know that one couldn't copy the other.

because he was a lefty.....or should we quote Killery..."What does it matter?" the last thing lefty needs to do is catch this guy...they willlose another vote!

I was thinking of the amount needed, Arkady.

Do not know seeing I have never made a bomb... You would have to get that information off the internet... I refuse to type in anything like that because of fear being flagged... So becareful poking around about this type of information...
If you are going to quote Mrs. Clinton, do her, and everyone else, the service of actually quoting her.
"With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans," said the secretary snappishly to the senator. "Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night decided to go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator."

I agree with Gordon and wish you would leave seeing your response has nothing to do with the thread... If you can give information about what Gordon is asking then please, but if you're going to flame then go away...

Stand up for the people!
Heard another good point brought up on a news show. Why was the garbage can allowed on the street.
As security precautions, these are supposed to be restricted.. the initial reports stated one of the explosions apparently came from a garbage can.
There could have been an update since hearing this.. re: changing all of the bomb's exact whereabouts.

Perfectly understandable. Probably a Internet scan and some looking back over the last six months by the DHS

But then, if they didn't have garbage cans....and there was no attack, people would criticize the city for "People having to toss garbage on the streets because there were no cans".
It's one of those hindsight 20/20 things, unfortunately.

Via the "Daily Mail" (UK):
Home-made bombs 'stuffed in trash cans' were 'crude' but packed with 'ball-bearings and nails' designed to maim and kill
Initial tests showed no use of C-4 or other high-grade explosive material
Doctor says that numerous sharp metal objects - including pellets and nails - were extracted from victims
The two detonated explosives may have been packed with ball bearings
Many victims lost feet, calves and ankles in the explosions due to shrapnel
The terrorist or group behind the horrific Boston Marathon explosion detonated two small and likely homemade bombs packed with ball-bearings, which killed at least three people - including an 8-year-old boy - while injuring 173 others.
Initial tests showed no use of C-4 or other high-grade explosives, suggesting that the packages detonated in the attack were crude explosive devices, federal law enforcement officials said.
It is believed they were stuffed into trash cans along the race route.

How accurate their information is I cannot say.

zam, I don't think "Daily Mail" is tabloid rag, but who knows.
Eliminating C-4 shows that the explosives likely were "purchased here" and not "snuck over the border, or through a port of entry".

The propellant used in firearms ammunition could have been used -- it's commercially available, but it isn't that powerful an explosive. C-4-equivalent isn't too hard to home-make if you know the chemistry. Relatively powerful explosives can be made using various cleaning agents, fuels and sugars. I haven't heard enough detail about the construction of these bombs to tell (my guess is some of the critical details are being withheld for investigative purposes).

trap, which is EASIER to achieve?....making C-4 or dumping out the powder from several dozen boxes of shotgun shells?

I think it's a bit premature to draw any conclusions, I'll leave that to the experts. I'll just go with the facts as they are reported for now.
