Should we enact some common sense pressure cooker controls to minimize
this kind of violence? Some background checks on pressure cooker
buyers? Some pressure cooker registration and licensing?
I am thinking this would just be common sense. It could very easily be
appended to the gun control legislation, and could protect us from this
kind of bombing. Maybe we could get Elizabeth Warren, the new senator
from Mass, to sponsor this? If we all sent her an email I am sure she
would respond.

A former militant communist says it looked like a gunpowder bomb (like
a pipe bomb but bigger):
"I've been waiting for someone to claim responsibility for this
evil madness. Various jihadi groups have disclaimed it, and the use of
what appeared to be smallish, simple devices of ball bearings and what
from the plume seemed to be a gunpowder burster is not their style,
although the target certainly was -- a gathering of innocents making a
suitable body count."
CBS News says:
A law enforcement source told CBS News senior investigative producer
Pat Milton that one of the explosive devices appears to have been
placed in a metal pressure cooker (a metal kitchen pot with a locked
down top) which had been placed in a black nylon bag or backpack.
Investigators also found pieces of an electronic circuit board
possibly indicating a timer was used in the detonation of the bomb.
A law enforcement official told CBS News that the two bombs that
exploded were made to look like discarded property. It is still
unknown if one or both bombs were in garbage cans. One may have been
on the sidewalk.
The bombs were described as "low explosive," but with "anti-personnel"
packing. The official said there were apparently things like BB's,
ball bearings and nails in the bombs. This is consistent with doctors
reporting shrapnel pulled from victims.
