Is the suspect the new "Tim" McVeigh?

9. Has anyone read the Turner Diaries?

That's the novel found in McVeigh's possession after the Oklahoma City bombing that described a final nazi race war to cleanse the United States of Blacks and Jews and that was supposedly what inspired him to act. The Turner Diaries supposedly describes the bombing of a federal building. I wonder if the novel also describes an event similar to the bombing at the Marathon designed to spread fear and chaos. I'm sure the authorities have made a thorough investigation of any fictional literature that might describe a similar event, though.

After posting I found a link to a story at the Huffington Post about a novel describing a bombing by a right wing group at the Boston Marathon, written several years ago. I hadn't heard about this, though I suppose others who follow the HP website have.
