Boston Marathon Bombing

[Expat]

ABC is hinting that it might be right wing terrorism, even though they have no idea what actually happened.

ABC just lost some respect. Seriously? If they don't know, they should stfu.

Does anyone have a source that isn't the NY Post that says anything about the suspect in custody

I saw a tweet that said a 20 year old saudi male was in custody. I'll try to find it again.

I've seen tweets like that too - so far everything I've found goes back to that NY Post story.

I'm just wondering if anyone has seen an independent second source on that one.

....At least, a NON-Murdoch source.​

they say they have a saudi guy in custody as a suspect

Is that because he's a suspect or because he's a Saudi?

well if he is a saudi he must be innocent, right?

Surprised he isn't already on a plane and on his way home courtesy of the government.

The Boston Police Dept. is denying the NY Post story...

Reports coming in that a Saudi national is being guarded in a Boston hospital as a person of interest in the bombings. It has not been confirmed whether or not he is a suspect or a witness.

EDIT: Or not...

That has been reported by Fox News anyway though they are calling this guy a 'person of interest' and not a 'suspect'.

So....at the very least, we know he's not White.​

Surprise surprise Rupert Murdoch's association is once again the pinnacle of journalism.

I'm listening to an independant radio show and they are not bringing politics into this at all. It's refreshing.

 

[Gracie]

Mass hysteria. Reports of this and that. Nobody knows what happened or who did it. Yet.
Let's wait as this developes.

Theres a lot of confusion in all quarters right now. Lets give each other a break for a while.

As per CBS News, Tufts Hospital ER is locked down and temporarily evacuated.

The fuck?

I just heard on the Boston Police feed that they believe an Amtrak Police Officer was killed. :facepalm:

I heard a third bomb has gone off.

Is it that hard to keep political bias out of this before anyone knows anything?

Lord have mercy on some who frequent this board.

Apparently for some it is!

Saw that.

The fact that the "suspect" himself is hurt is curious. (wrong place, wrong time?)

Then again, terrorist from the Weather Underground to the "Underwear Bomber" and more have a good history fraking themselves up pretty good. Remember the goobers that tried to Jeep bomb a London airport only to mess their own shite up?

Just too early to tell about today's sad events.

"The hospital next to my folk's house is being evacuated. Brick-shitting time."

That has to be the Beth Israel hospital. They found something near the hospital and I heard it was being evacuated. But something could be nothing. At times like this, a lunchbox makes people jumpy.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Third bomb has gone off at the JFK library, no injuries or fatalities reported.

 

[candycorn]

Probably old news but police scanners picking up the Boston PD/EMS feed confirm the FBI is on the ground in Beantown.

Command post at 636 Beacon apparently.
