Yea I thought that information about undetonated bombs would be found false (isn't there always lots of misinformation floating around at such times - the degree of it is astounding). No, I'm not going to go deep down some tin foil rabbit hole with "yes there were undetonated bombs and they are now covering them up". I'm just going to go with the official story and the initial informaiton was wrong, it amazes me how good my instincts are in suspecting all initial information sometimes. Called it!

I don't bother to have an opinion on who it is yet. We could find out it's North Korea for all I know (it's the type of scale they are actually capable far more than nuclear warheads). It could be a faulty gas line for all I know (yes I know there are supposed to be bombs and there probably were, I'm just withholding certainty). It could be some right wing nut in a very blue state obsessed with Patriot day (mind you being angry at the govt can be rational and maybe even moral, blowing up a marathon having nothing to do with it is not). I certainly don't have any reflexive urge to blame the middle east. Because yea it's theoretically possible, but we've been told to worry about mid-east violence for a decade plus since 9-11 and there hasn't been pretty much ANY in the U.S.. So me thinks that threat is overblown. In the same time period there actually have been a few incidents of domestic terrorism. Although if they party in the middle east I'd know why. They are tired of being blown up by U.S. government bombs pretty much.
