Heard this as well on CBS about 6 minutes ago.
I just called my girlfriend.
source?
btw, my money is on multinational islamic group, possibly Al Qaeda. Seems to bare their their hallmarks but I'm an amateur and have no professional insight so who knows.

Exactly, it's 26 miles and you can literally walk within feet of the runners. How would you stop a bombing?
Fox is holding firm on their reporting that someone is under guard at the hospital as well. Citing "solid sources" in the Justice Department. As I posted before, they acknowledged the commissioner's statement and said it did not conflict with their reporting as this officially this person is a "person of interest" and not officially in custody.
Yeah. Crazy shit. How did he not pass out from pain or shock?
Sprint and Verizon have told the media that they were not directed to cut off service. They did say that there were service interruptions due to the vast amount of people trying to communicate with their loved ones.
Well, clearly that's not acceptable.
CBS News. There are two reports. One is Boston Police, the other is the FBI.
Watching CBS live on the net. According to them the Saudi suspect was near the bomb blast area, and started to run once it went off (like everyone else). Apparently another individual there tackled him and took him to the police because he looked "suspicious".
Not sure if racism...
According to officials he is fully cooperating and denies he played a role in the attack.

Good god, man.
You can't secure 26.2 miles man. Sorry.

CBS Boston just said a Saudi man was seen running away from the explosion and a civilian tackled him.
No crap he was running from the explosion.

The federal government does not define the Fort Hood shooter as terrorism
You can't put those two together and draw that conclusion.

The child is fine; Won't ever feel pain or have a worry again. Feel for the parents and family.
Ugh, why did I click heartbreaking twitter link???
I've seen more disturbing images than I really should have today. On a personal level, what I've found most striking about this attack is that the raw, emotional reactions in people's faces to the events around them have been extremely hard to look at and digest. Whereas gore may have been too "gross" for me to look at when I was younger, I am now finding people's emotions far more difficult to cope with in these pictures/videos.
I wish all the best for everyone involved, stay strong.

I think it's essentially impossible to completely secure a marathon, it's just too long.
Taking credit means little if they didn't do it. I'm sure we'll get fringe groups claiming responsibility.
Literally impossible. How would you even propose something like that be done?
Pretty much.
NBC has said they are talking to a bunch of people, specifically someone with a student visa.

There is no way to always be 100% safe, especially if you want to live in a free society.
Could be something, but could also be nothing but xenophobia.
yeah sounds like BS.
How about directly next to the fucking finish line?

I hope they find the people responsible, and then never say their names in the media.
This sort of attack is done for attention, don't give them the pleasure.
