The Brothers Tsarnaev: Lone Wolves, Soft Targets and the Nightmare of Grassroots Terrorism
May 15, 2013
Boston is the cradle of the American Revolution - a city whose history is special. The shots heard around the world, which Patriots’ Day commemorates, were fired in Lexington and Concord 238 years ago. Patriots’ Day, the third Monday in April, is a unique holiday celebrated only in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Every year, a beloved event within this holiday celebration is the Boston Marathon, which has attracted runners from around the world for the past 117 years. Sadly, on April 15, 2013, this festive and jubilant occasion was marred by terrorism. The crude shrapnel bombs that exploded 12 minutes apart starting at 2:49 p.m. EDT on the sidewalk at the finish line were designed to kill and maim, and this they did with terrible efficiency. Three were instantly killed and 264 were wounded. To terrorism experts it all looked so familiar: CCTV images from Boston brought back memories of the July 2005 London Underground bombings that killed 52. The images were of young men with explosives in their backpacks on a mission to kill and maim fellow citizens, motivated by causes in far-away lands that they had embraced as their own. And, unfortunately, this will not be the last time an American city will be faced with terrorists targeting innocent victims who have congregated to celebrate a uniquely American holiday.
