The reason why the boston bombing was a bigger story is
A: It occurred at a civilian event, thus had a lot of media covering it.
B: Boston isn't in a country that's been a warzone for 10 years.
C: Bombings are rare in the US, especially ones that were as violent as this one.
"3 dead" is a bit of a misnomer. Bombs don't just kill, they maim. If you don't die by the explosion, you might not make it out 100%. over 200 were injured, 15 of those injured now have to learn how to walk without one/both of their legs.The bomb used was very easy to make, using a simple pressure cooker device, and was used with such skill and technique I refuse to believe that the only ones involved are just the two of them. Anyhow, I don't really care what you say, but a city going on lockdown for 24 hours, regardless where it came from, is a bigger story than Iraq getting bombed because they're in the election season (and you thought the US election season was bad...).
