I saw people's legs blown off. Horrific. Two explosions. Runners were coming in and saw unspeakable horror.

Eyewitnesses say people had legs blown off, so quite possible.

3 dead so far, a device also found in the library.

I wonder if it's an american or terrorist behind the bombings.

This sort of **** makes my ****ing blood boil. What kind of person can do such a thing? My heart breaks for everyone involved...

There is nothing that can make something like this better.

I hope they find the bastards who did this...

Those poor families

No need to apologise. You should re-post it if you removed it. It really gives you an idea of how bad it is.
