    It's a Saudi National is who is being gaurded in the hospital right now, actually. According to the NYPost.

    Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national — in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.

    Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.

    It was not immediately clear why the man was hospitalized and whether he was injured in the attack or in his apprehension.

    The man was caught less than two hours after the 2:50 p.m. bombing on the finish line of the race, in the heart of Boston.


    Interesting. I would have bet on a Mcveigh type being Boston, on Patriots' Day. If that is true, that would have been my 3rd choice.

    It sounds like he was injured in the bombings. Obviously being a 20-year old he might be that dumb to have gotten hurt by his own bomb, but it seems unlikely in this case. This smells of the ol' post-9/11 routine of "round up any camel-jockeys close by and see if it is them". But who knows....

    They should have said that then. Just because you want to be the first to report it doesn't mean you can't also be accurate.

    23 years ago I visited the USA for the first time. Flew into Boston, staying there 1 night, Have never been there since.

    Stayed at the Copley Plaza Hotel, visited one other place while there, the JFK Library.

    watching the video I posted above, people are having a hell of a time breaking those things down.
    Nah, no one fucks with the runners.

    The finish line is blocked off with scaffolding/fencing, thats what you see. It's to keep people out, but not because the runners get fucked with. More to clear shot for television, and mark official times.

    NYPost story might be bogus.

    Boston PD on NY Post bombing suspect report: "Honestly, I don't know where they're getting their information from."
    But who knows. It's also on FOX now
    TRUMP 2024!

    The world is, in general, a much safer and less violent place than it used to be, than it has ever been, really.

    Far, far less violent.

    It says 12 dead.

    "A federal law-enforcement source confirmed to The Post there are at least 12 dead. Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 10 people with amputated limbs and all operating rooms were on hold, sources said."

    Considering the Boston PD don't know anything about the suspect, the death count is probably false as well. Ignore nypost and find a different source.

    That's my whole point. My original post was laughing at the varying body counts depending on what channel you are watching.

    Please stop bitching about inconsistencies in news reports at the moment. Obv there's no way for the story to be known this quickly, and we all know this to be true, and we also know the news reports are gonna keep coming in regardless, so its really silly to spend any time at all arguing about different details/body counts atm.


    Also, only an idiot goes to the NYPost for breaking news of any importance.

    googled that pic out of curiosity and found out that is actually a race official trying to take the racing bib from the first women to enter the boston marathon. guess he wanted to prevent her from continuing with the race. apparently she got around the ban on female participants by using her initials on the entry form. official's name was "jock semple" which couldn't have been more perfect imo.
