The NY Times says ONLY that "It was the worst death toll from a bomb explosion in New York City since a bomb went off in a parked horse-drawn wagon on Wall Street in 1920, killing more than three dozen people and injuring hundreds." As to the American soil claim, the Bath School Disaster in Bath, Michigan outdid the Wall Street bombing. One could quibble, I suppose, as to whether any of these events are a "terrorist act", a la the recent Fort Hood shooting, which some call 'mere work place violence.' But characterizing this kind of unspeakable carnage as anything less than terrorism is ignoring their reality; the perpetrator's motivation is an explanation and a way to define the act, but the carnage is more compelling. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 17:56, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

The sources aren't very good, and the list of suspects includes everyone except Santa Claus and the Grinch. I think a major rewrite is needed using better sources. If I wanted to disinform my readers, this is how I would write it. Something is wrong with the framing here. Viriditas ( talk) 21:22, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
