Explosions at the Boston Marathon finish line

There's reports that a 3rd explosion occured at the JFK Library. Hoping that it's just gossip and nerves.

They are saying this was an unrelated fire that started in a mechanical room. Strange timing.

JFK library was a bomb.

Police have a Saudi national in custody. He is denying involvement, so it may just be wrong place, wrong time for that guy.

Do you have sources for these?

I can't find anything recent saying that the JFK fire was related.

They have gone back and now said that it was not connected.

Quote from CNN:
-- Boston police investigated whether a third explosion, at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, was connected to Monday's two bombings at the Boston Marathon, Police Commissioner Ed Davis said. They decided it was related to a mechanical problem. The JFK School of Government at Harvard University in Cambridge --- miles away from the library in the Dorchester section of Boston -- was evacuated.

Thanks for confirmation. I've been trying to follow the story pretty closely all day and didn't think I missed anything.

An article about the 8-year-old who died. He was there to watch his father race.

His mother has had surgery on her brain and his sister lost her leg. My thoughts go out to the family.
