Saudi held in Boston terror bombing "smelled of gunpowder": “I thought there would be a second bomb”

The Saudi being grilled by the FBI said, “I thought there would be a second bomb" and two bombs did go off. We now know that there were no unexploded bombs at Boston Marathon. Only two bombs ---

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick says no unexploded bombs were found at the Boston Marathon. He says the only explosives were the ones that went off Monday.

“I thought there would be a second bomb."

He is being grilled by the FBI, and police were seen carrying 20 large bags from his apartment in Revere, Massachusetts. If the police charge him or even call him a suspect, he gets all lawyered up (the feds made that mistake with the Christmas underwear bomber.)

Catherine Herridge reported earlier that the Saudi man is connected to a very powerful Saudi family.

John Kerry meeting with Saudi Foreign Minister abruptly closed to press coverage

"FBI grills Saudi man in Boston bombings," by Larry Celona in the New York Post, April 16 (thanks to Andrew Bostom):

Police took a 20-year-old Saudi national into custody near the scene of yesterday’s horrific Boston Marathon bomb attack, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

The potential suspect was questioned by the FBI and local police yesterday at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where he was under heavy guard while being treated for shrapnel injuries to his leg sustained in the blast.

In late afternoon, a large group of federal and state law enforcement agents raided an apartment in a building in the Saudi man’s hometown of Revere, Mass.

FBI agents could be seen through one window. It was not clear what, if anything, they found. But Revere fire officials said they were called out to support bomb-squad officers as part of an investigation of a “person of interest”

Smelled of gunpowder? So now the Con-man-in-chief will what, want to outlaw reloading components?

Certainly sounds like a tax day related event to me. /sarc

BTW I have a neighbor family that was probably at the finish line that day watching their son. I have tried to call their cellphones yesterday and today just going to voice mail with no return call.

Not like them to not call back especially today, if the feds do not have the phones shut off.

Well, “20 large bags” just means that the Feds grabbed everything that wasn’t nailed down in order to run tests on it.

I’ve come to take everything the media reports in the first 3 days with a large block of salt.

Why do our politicians continue to allow Saudis to come here for college? Let them use all their oil money to build their own damn universities. American taxpayers would however be willing to donate America’s most liberal professors to move PERMANENTLY over there to help them get started.

Burned hands? That doesn’t make sense. If he was holding the bomb, his arms would have been blown off. Secondly, the bombs were probably on a timers. Describe the scenaio where the bomer ends up with “burned hands”.

Secondly, the media is making a big deal about him asking “Was anyone killed?” It’s a natural question to ask, and it would be stupid to attribute that comment to some kind of guilt.

Thirdly - was gunpowder used - or was it another explosive?

Would that family name be Bin Laden perhaps?

Hence why Kerry’s scheduled meeting with Saudi officials was unexpectedly closed to the press today. More back room deals underfoot.

As soon as the news showed that blast yesterday hubby said.....black powder. Won’t state that he is a ‘gun enthusiast’ but he was a firefighter for 33 yrs and has seen almost everything. ;)

Great. Now they'll pin it on some Civil War re-enactor.

This explains so much to me, Maybe he came in a new fast track visa. Explains why the police have been so quick to say he is not suspect. Many forces at work here in the State Dept and I bet the Whitehouse if he’s connected to the Royal family.

This is starting to make me very uneasy.

Earlier a link to a FB page was posted that was said to be the witness/suspect. I followed the link & he had worked for the ambassador, IIRC...

Agree! This also reminded me of the type of bombings in Israel. Can’t rule out Hamas and Hezbollah type terrorists either.

But no other victim had only burned hands. So I guess that aroused suspicion.

Here’s the link but now I don’t see anything about the ambassador. Maybe it was one of his friends but I don’t think I dreamed it! Lol.........
