Maybe I'm just terrible at reading between the lines, but this paints a fuzzy picture.
Both the headline and the opening paragraph basically state that this incident is related to the marathon bombing. However, the article then goes on to describe a carjacking as well as multiple "we-don't-know-for-sure" disclaimers.
While the presence of explosives certainly does significantly reduce the possibility of this being run of the mill urban crime, I guess I wish news outlets would temper themselves a little by not reporting speculation as fact.
