#BREAKING: According to @WuWCVB, an arrest in #BostonMarathon bombing is imminent or has already taken place.

Buckhead - which is the name of a suburb near Atlanta.

No arrest made now...CNN did however, confirm that Boston is in MASS.

a bomb threat is a great way for the Feds to quickly clear out a building.

I thought of that, and it's certainly possible. I also thought that the Fibbies could leak the information that a suspect is on his way to the courthouse, when in fact there is no suspect, just to see if someone produces a bomb threat at the courthouse. Maybe that would reveal the possibility of multiple suspects, one of whom they might be able to trace from a bomb threat.

I dunno. This has been such a giant clusterfook of misinfo and misdirection today that it feels more like a movie plot.

This would be perp #1. Could be that perp #2 is dark-skinned. Odds are against the same person planting both bombs.

This is the most frienzied reporting of unverified truths and anonymous rumors since Newtown.

I for one appreciate some levity in situations as screwed up as this one.

Checking unattended back packs now..police scanner.

[Sender]

I was thinking the same thing, that it would be difficult for one person to have delivered both bombs.

[no-to-illegals]

yep ... it is and this one has been going on longer. Saw pictures of clams with legs the other day. Clams with legs reminds me of past two days.

[PghBaldy]

Geez... Now CNN says some Federal sources are saying the guy has not been ID'ed yet, while others say, "Yes," he has.

[penelopesire]

Boston police are looking for a green van..someone taking pictures and leaving back packs behind.

Wild!! God please protect those brave police in Boston!!

[no-to-illegals]

I do find it odd the media is questioning federal officials for closing the courthouse disputing the claim of a bomb threat. Strange.

[PghBaldy]

CORRECT, There is no arrest yet.

I’m sure lots of people have thought of such things.

They just don’t mention it.

[John W]

Once again, who are the feds these days? And the media should know that.

[NonValueAdded]

Someone mentioned yesterday on another thread how a lot of FReepers used to be able to put their heads together and solve a lot of these things.

A hospital was evacuated in Boston a bit ago. Maybe the runner with the big cuts was a patient? Maybe they were going in to get him?

[no-to-illegals]

Are they not the same people? If this is what you are saying ... I agree.

[MarMema]

They just said there is something that needs to be checked out in front of the empire.

[Sender]

Thanks, I believe that they are having a courthouse evac but all of this reporting about suspects, arrests, vans is making my head spin.
