The FBI announced the arrest of two Massachusetts men linked to an intentional explosion at Harvard Medical School’s Goldenson Building in Boston. The incident, which unfolded in the early hours of November 1, 2025, rattled one of America’s premier academic institutions but fortunately caused no injuries or significant damage.
The explosion occurred just after 2:45 a.m. in a fourth-floor hallway of the building at 220 Longwood Avenue. A Harvard University Police Department officer, responding to a triggered fire alarm, spotted two masked individuals fleeing the scene. Despite attempts to intercept them, the suspects escaped, prompting an immediate investigation. Authorities later confirmed the blast was caused by a single improvised device, deemed intentional by the Boston Fire Department’s Arson Unit. A thorough sweep by the Boston Police Department found no additional threats, allowing the facility to resume operations quickly.
“Improvised device” I heard it was some sort of roman candle. Sounds like something drunk college kids would do. I’m not sure I would call it terrorism. Kids do this crap all the time (I’m not justifying it though). You would think they would have been smart enough not to do this in Harvard’s buildings (DUH!)
