    I wish news channels, websites would not put up info unless they have confirmation.

    It's that shit that sometimes leads to conspiracy theories, because "the story keeps changing."


    The people involved in these kinds of tragedies don't need to be hearing of crap like that. They are going through enough.

    I was just thinking the same thing. I'm tired of the speculations and what retired security guards think.

    Boston PD said another explosion at JFK Library.

    an earlier link said it was a maintenance fire and not triggered by anything suspicious ...


    I read that also, but Boston PD just said 5 minutes ago during the press conference that it was an explosion they are treating as related to the explosions at the marathon.


    Maintenance fire. No chance. Way too coincidental

    Sounds like it was much worse than that.

    This is still the correct number, 2 dead 51 injured.

    A person of interest? That could be anyone, no? .... Why would the person have stood around right next to the bombs that they planted? If they wanted to be a suicide bomber, I doubt this is how they'd go about it.... But yeah, who knows. I guess stranger things have happened.... I hope it's not just some middle eastern guy who happened to be there. :fp:

    If they are burned they might not be able to leave the scene. Lets hope nurse Fitzy and Marky are leaving this person in pure agony if they in fact committed this crime

    The guy being held is Saudi and has severe burns. He was allegedly seen putting backpacks in trash cans. Time will tell.

    The New York Post broke the news that Boston investigators have a 20-year old Saudi Arabian person of interest in the two Boston Marathon bombings. He is being held under guard at an undisclosed hospital location with severe burns, indicating that he was injured during the blast before he was being apprehended.

    The man was caught just before 5pm EST, less than two hours after the bombings.

    CBS News has also reported that the Boston police have surveillance video of an individual bringing multiple backpacks to the blast site near the finish line on Boylston St.

    The Boston Police Department are stating, to tell CNN, "we don't have anyone in custody." The Boston PD is also unsure of how and by whom is informing the NYPost of their wrong information/reporting.

    Boston police now saying fire at JFK library was in fact a fire and not an explosion related to the other events as per CNN.
