Was this guy stupid enough to buy the pressure cookers or maybe the black bags just before the bombing?
Sure hope so. The quicker he’s caught the better.
Heh. I’m glad the Post continues to follow this story closely. According to them the bomber killed 12 people! But no, identifying a suspect isn’t the same as having him in custody.
The Boston Globe report is more clear. But it sounds like they still have to connect a name to the face.
Local TV is saying an arrest is imminent with one saying it may have already taken place.

The news just said the suspect will be taken into custody by federal marshalls.
Yes, everybody seems to be reporting an arrest now. And just because I didn’t see the name posted- the third person killed in the bombing was Lu Lingzi. She was a Chinese citizen and was studying statistics at BU.
But there was conveniently *no *CCTV coverage of the whole area - a sure sign of a false flag operation!!!111 I know because I read it on Twitter!
That was fast. I wonder how they identified the guy so quick from a video?
Anyway, I hope its true and he’s the right guy.
Maybe he has a criminal record or worked in the area, which could’ve allowed someone to identify him.
If he was on a watch list, as either domestic or international terrorist and/or “lets keep an eye on this fella”, facial recognition technology would be a probable way.
Or being less CSI-y, what Marley said.
Twitterverse is confirming that an arrest has been made.
It certainly seems fast, but I’m guessing they saw that video within hours back on Monday but didn’t publicize it until now.
I read that they Identified the guy from at least two video sources…one from Lord and Taylor and another from local TV footage. The local Fox affiliate has been playing a video they provided the FBI that they shot of the crowd (their camera guy was just walking along shooting people in the crowd) with Lord and Taylor across the street. Not sure how long before the bombs went off it was shot…but it looks like that footage was taken right where the bomb went off.
CBS said video showed a man set a black backpack on the ground in the area of the 2nd explosion while using a cell phone. Then when the first bomb went off he stopped using the cell phone and walked away. The FBI checked cell phone records for that time frame and area and probably tracked him down that way.
NBC is saying there is no arrest.
Well…then all the Live cameras at the Federal Courthouse are going to be let down.
I can state with total certainty that there has either been an arrest made or there hasn’t. Or else some third thing.
I am pretty sure it s a man or a woman or transgender. Or else some fourth thing.
The Twitterverse can’t really confirm anything, it’s just repeating stuff. I’ll wait for official word from the authorities.
Alien Abduction?
Lots of police at the courthouse from the Live aerial shots
The New York Post is reporting that 12 people have been arrested.
