Mystery Military Men in Boston Were Part of WMD Response Team
Updated with video footage showing their reaction to the bomb.

After much speculation around the mysterious "military contractor" types with black backpacks in the bomb zone of the Boston Marathon before and after the explosions took place, it has been revealed that they were part of an elite government WMD response team.
The classified
Presidential Directive 39 that created this elite group was signed by President Clinton two months after the Oklahoma City Bombing to have "the ability to
respond rapidly and decisively to terrorism directed against us wherever it occurs, to protect Americans, arrest or defeat the perpetrators, respond with all appropriate instruments against the sponsoring organizations and governments and provide recovery relief to victims, as permitted by law."
The keyword "response force" seems an odd name for units that were clearly working the Boston Marathon prior to bombs going off.
According to a
report from Global Security Newswire, New York's CST was sent to Boston
before the marathon:
The roughly 20-person New York unit � based at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn � dispatched five personnel to Boston after receiving a request last Friday from the Massachusetts state government, said Eric Durr, public information director for the New York state Military and Naval Affairs Division.
�Anytime you�ve got a high-key event where there�s lots of people, there�s usually a � unit from a civil support team in the area to provide assistance to first responders,� Durr told Global Security Newswire by telephone. He declined to discuss specifics of how the 24th personnel provided assistance following the Monday attack.
Yet, another
report contradicts that and says NY 24th WMD-CST showed up only
after the bombing.
"The 24th National Guard WMD-CST team has done exceptional job, not just in New York, but also in Boston where they were on the ground
responding to the horrific attack on the marathon," said US Rep. Michael Grimm (R-C-Bay Ridge-Staten Island) of the unit who "went to Boston
after the bombing."
So what is the official version? Were they there before the event or dispatched after the bombing?
Regardless, it's clear from the photos that this team was in place prior to the event and their role in responding to WMD attacks would seem to explain the radiation detector one of them was carrying after the bomb exploded:
This confusion can be that this member may have received training from The Craft whose unofficial motto is "Violence does solve problems", according to their website.
Now that we know who these mystery men are, it still seems odd that they were lurking in the shadows of a sporting event that happened to experience a terror attack.
And it does appear that a backpack carried by one of these agents was the one implicated to have delivered the bomb:
Yet, this recently released footage seems to show the same CST guy, still wearing his backpack after the first bomb goes off, running toward the bomb area to be a first responder. As soon as the bomb goes off, these guys seem to jump into action and move bravely toward the explosion while the crowd seeks to scurry away. Again, he still has his backpack on. They come into view at the 5-second mark from the left side of the screen.
