      If it does turns out to be a Jihadist blast, maybe he is a recent convert?
      Seems an odd suspect. If he is the 'lone angry nut' type then he found a freind (not impossible). if he is a muslim convert he kept his hindu name. South Asian folk hereabouts might able to tell me how commonplace this is.

      • Whether he is still Hindu or a recent convert, if he really did this, he deserves to die man.

        And as a Hindu I would be really ashamed and sorry.

          • A witness in Watertown says he saw the perps remove handguns and crude explosive devices from a backpack before they engaged police. In his pics (on Twitter) you can clearly see a backpack in the street.

            • The two shooters, he said, had a large and unwieldy bomb. “They lit it, still in the middle of the gunfire, and threw it. But it went 20 yards at most.” It exploded, he said, and one of the two men ran toward the gathered police officers. He was tackled, but it was not clear if he was shot, Mr. Kitzenberg said.

              The explosions, said Loretta Kehayias, 65, another resident, “lit up the whole house. I screamed. I’ve never seen anything like this, never, never, never.”

              Meanwhile, the other young man, said Mr. Kitzenberg, got back into the SUV, turned it toward officers and “put the pedal to the metal.” The car “went right through the cops, broke right through and continued west.”

              The two men left “a few backpacks right by the car, and there is a bomb robot out there now.” Police had told residents to stay away from their windows, he said.

              At least two people, one of whom appeared to be a poilice officer and the other a man in handcuffs were g taken from the scene in ambulances, said a Dexter Street resident who declined to give his name.

              Seems like they caught one, while the other is still loose.
