“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...”
Did it say he worked for Adel al-Jubeir?, If so oh SH-t,this is going to get very interesting.

I don't know if he was involved in the attack as anything more than a victim, but I do know if I were a Saudi and I were anywhere near a blast, I'd run like a vengeful djinn was after me to get away from the scene!

Worrisome. Perhaps it’s just a damaged phone?

they better not cover this up.....they better not clean this case..They can't help it. It's SOP now. Their standard response and protocol is to "clean" these situations before we....the great unwashed class of serfs...get even a hint of what the truth is.

I am going to have to do some digging on some of his friends, I do not see any names that jump off, I am sure they could have been scrubed since you looked at it. If Adel al-Juberi was one of them that would be huge news.

I have no idea whether this fellow is the bomber, but he had been injured by the first bomb and was running away when he was caught. Given that he is from the Middle East, his statement that he thought the would be another bomb makes sense. That is the standard M.O. -—one bomb and then, after people rush in to help, another one. It doesn’t really suggest guilt.
To: Fido969
Thirdly - was gunpowder used - or was it another explosive?
Gunpowder (smokeless powder which is used in modern reloading)does not make a good bomb. It is not classified by the BATFE as an explosive. Black powder (think muzzleloaders or cannons) however is an explosive, and will explode with a fireball like was seen in yesterday's video coverage.

LEO on the left (rear) is pulling a rolling storage/shipping trunk.
LEO in the center is carrying a spool of wire and a backpack/duffel bag of sorts.
LEO on the right (front) is carrying a "tool" bag, with a large "bug-out" backpack by the neck and possibly something else in their left hand which is obscured by their body.

Well, of course I can’t read all of it but it does not seem like a terrorists page to me. Didn’t see what appeared to be rantingd. Some of the postings were about Mohammed (Bing translation). But then I wouldn’t really know.........
At this point in time, I don’t think this guy seems too suspicious.......
To: sheana
I have a couple of black powder rifles and thats the first thing I thought, would also explain why not just he but everybody else in the area also smelled like powder.

Heard from my friends in Boston.
Their son finished about 30 minutes prior to the bombing but was actually staying at the hotel that blew up.
So he was not allowed back in and had no clothes but jogging clothes and they had to walk 5 miles to the parents hotel and all 6 people including grand kids. Bought clothes on the way. Scared the hell out of them.
