Yup. Maybe we should bet on whether it's Muslims, Tea Baggers, or North Koreans.

BOSTON—A late-night police chase and shootout has ended with one marathon bombing suspect dead and another on the run here, Boston Police commissioner Ed Davis said early Friday morning.
Federal agents swarmed neighboring Watertown after local police were involved in a car chase and shootout with at least one of the suspects. During the pursuit, officers could be heard on police radio traffic describing the suspects as having grenades and other explosives.
At approximately 10:30 p.m. Thursday, a robbery was reported at a 7-Eleven in Cambridge, Davis said. An MIT officer responding to the robbery was shot, and later pronounced dead. The suspects fled in a stolen Mercedes-Benz. Watertown Police spotted car and shots were fired between police and the suspects.
One suspect was shot by police and later died, but the second fled on foot, and a tense manhunt ensued.
"We believe this to be a terrorist," Davis told reporters at a hastily arranged press conference in Watertown. "We believe this to be a man who has come here to kill people. We need to get him into custody."
An MTA officer was seriously wounded during the exchange of gunfire, Davis said.
The FBI has yet to publicly confirm a connection between the events in Watertown and the twin explosions that killed 3 people and injured 170 others at the Boston Marathon on Monday. But according to a radio alert sent issued to fellow officers, the suspect who remained at large was the "one in the white hat" seen in the photos released by the bureau on Thursday.
The suspect was described as a "white male with dark complexion or a Middle Eastern male with thick curly hair wearing a charcoal gray hooded sweatshirt ... possibly with an assault rifle and explosives." Police in Watertown, Newton, Brighton and Cambridge were put on high alert as the suspect was said to be armed with a "long gun."

Because, 1 they didn't see jack shit coming (apparently from Tchtechnian student no less), 2 after the fact they were still totally clueless. 3 shit was developped thanks to FBI posting picture and local police leading the manhunt.
Because as of now... basic policework seems enough to do the job... and I bet mah cheezeburger muney for the week that no amount of drone or other hightech shit would have been able to do better than a bit of local humint... (unless you put a camera up to everyone's ass 24h/24, which gloriously defeat any high tech side of the move, sort of like killing everyone on the scene in hope to also kill the terrurists)

That one has been done before. As Arnaud Amalric, Abbot of Citeaux is reported to have said when ordering the massacre at Béziers, "Kill them all, God will know His own," meaning the innocent will be conveyed to Heaven so it is no real problem if some innocents are killed ... well ... all the innocents are killed, too. It is a damning indictment, if we are at the stage where we are speculating that the next step in the evolution of national security will resemble a crusade against a heresy from 800 years ago.
