Boston Marathon bombs similar to Bill Ayers' Weather Underground nail bomb

The Chicago Sun-Times has compiled a list of domestic bombings since 1886. Included in the list are two by Bill Ayers' former group, the Weather Underground. Ayers and his fellow former terrorist wife, Bernardine Dohrn, are close friends of President Obama, who did not call yesterday's Boston Marathon bombings as acts of terror.

Reports coming in from Boston are describing the deadly bombs as devices similar to the Weather Underground nail bomb that exploded prematurely in 1970, killing three of Ayers' terrorist friends. That device was intended to be detonated at a soldiers' dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.

As for yesterday's tragedy, one man had 37 nails removed from his legs.

UPDATE 10:35 AM CDT: In a statement just now, Obama did call the marathon bombings terrorism.
