Immediately following a memorial for the third anniversary of the BP oil spill, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson stopped to make comments on the developing news regarding the Boston Marathon bombers.
“I want to know are affiliated with any international terrorist groups,” Nelson said. “I want to know what was their motivation, if they had co-conspirators, were they supplied with people and technology and know-how as they built those bombs. “
Nelson, who seemed passionate about the ongoing manhunt referred to the marathon as a “soft-target” and believes that suspects were sure to have an arsenal of weapons waiting to be used. He also said attempts similar to that of the Boston Marathon bombing happen on the daily basis.
“I want to assure you all that everyday there are people that are trying to hurt the American people and everyday they are finding plots. A lot of them you don’t know about,” Nelson said. “If this ties in to whether it is domestic or international, here is an example of where you can’t be 100 percent.”
