Back on topic, this is rather sad that this happened. My guess is that it was done by some homegrown wack job. If it was a Middle Eastern terrorist strike, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, whoever would already be publicly claiming responsibility.
I'm also wondering how this event will affect the gun control debate, if any.

Actually they invaded Afghanistan. Of what real relevance is a terrorist’s nationality? If I go blow something up in NZ they should declare war on Australia? Awesome guilt-by-association conspiracy-theory logic you’ve got going there.

Police have been seen carrying several large bags from a suburban Boston apartment that authorities say was searched in connection to the Boston Marathon bombing.

The reason I suspended Mattsanity was not for insensitively pushing his personal agenda but because, when Eddie Zilker told him to stop because it was getting personal, he acted in complete disregard. Up to that point, I was telling him to sod off and be quiet, as I did afterwards when the suspension was lifted.
So we have to wait for someone who directly lost a relative to an act of terrorism to point out the monstrous crassness of Nou's posts before they become unacceptable?

Please, just mourn the victims and move on. Trying to speculate whose fault it was, will just worsen things. The way media reacts, is reminding me of this comic:

What, move on until it happens again? You think this event occurred in a vacuum or something?

Is everything a conspiracy theory to you these days? Because every time someone says anything that you dont like to hear it is automatically conspiracy. Do you not remember how hard the Bush admin was trying to link Iraq to 911? Remember the whole Al Qaeda members are hiding in Iraq? We seem to forget history so quickly..
Even the media at the time was working hard to link Iraq to 911:

September 11th aftermath
The Bush Administration sought to link the Iraqi dictator to Islamist radicals early on in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks. President Bush allegedly made the case to Tony Blair as early as September 14, 2001, although Blair urged him not to pursue the claim.[12]
In addition, Bush received on 21 September 2001 a classified President's Daily Brief (PDB), indicating the U.S. intelligence community had no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the September 11th attacks and that "there was scant credible evidence that Iraq had any significant collaborative ties with Al Qaeda.

Do we just forget about all the victims of the Iraq war and their suffering as the result of the invasion? Is that really your mentality? Just to forget? You need help.

It happened years ago. If you're still crying over it I think you're the one who needs help.
You're clearly not in the least bit biased about that either.
