[pecunium]

In the vein of recent comments: Have any of you heard about this, BOSTON (Reuters) - An explosion that blew out a number of windows at a Boston-area laboratory specializing in stem-cell research was caused by a pipe bomb, local police said on Friday.

No one was wounded in Thursday's early morning blast at Watertown, Massachusetts-based Amaranth Bio, which says on its Web site its technology is focused on organ regeneration and that it is working on cures for diabetes and liver disorders.

In a statement, Watertown police confirmed the explosion was the result of a pipe bomb and said they believe someone broke into the facility. No arrests have been made, police said."

I've seen no news on any damage to the stem cell line. As far as I can tell, this was one of the (if not the) first terrorist bombing in the US since 9/11/01.

Someone has been taking Boondocks a bit too seriously, this week.

I'm a half hour from Boston and haven't heard or read anything about this. I'm gonna check it out.

I live 20 minutes from Boston, and I hadn't heard anything until you posted it. I'm not much of a news-watcher, though.
