Could it be their mother's honor and not a religeous jihad?

[Betsy Ross]

Mother arrested at Lord and Taylor.
Bombs place at Lord and Taylor.

1. no it could not be.

[whttevrr]

2. I saw that story...

That thought did flit through my mind... But c'mon... You don't blow people up for your mom. Right?

3. Lord & Taylor is there every day of the year

The Boston Marathon route is not likely to have been planned around a revenge act against a department store. Choosing a day when there are a zillion cameras operating is probably a poor choice.

4. the attack was not on lord and taylor

[HappyMe]

5. I don't think so.

They could have messed with Lord & Taylor any old time.

6. all we can do

.... is guess. Perhaps it was just an added reason.

[FarCenter]

7. Might be a factor, but she was arrested at Lord and Taylor in Natick, MA

[onenote]

8. Was Lord & Taylor open?

If it was, and it was their target, why not leave the bombs inside Lord and Taylor?
And if wasn't, why not wait and do it on a day when it was open.

So, I would conclude that it is highly unlikely that it has squat to do with Lord and Taylor and their mother's honor.

9. Suspects identified through security cameras at Lord and Taylor

Now I see how everything is connected.
