From a children’s toy to a tool of destruction.
New information has come to light tonight about the nature of the deadly Boston Marathon terror attacks that killed three and wounded more than 200. The Vice Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee tells the Post that, according the FBI, the bombs were detonated using remote control car devices.
“It was a remote control for a car, that’s what it was,” said C.A. “Dutch” Ruppersberger. “It was that type of device. That says to me that you need some sophistication to be able to use that type of device to set off bombs.”
The news comes just days after the second bombing suspect, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was charged with using a weapon of mass destruction in the attacks, and about a week after the first suspect, Dzhokhar’s brother Tamerlan, was killed in a shootout with authorities.
