According to phikapmom, an acquaintance who was there, who is Persian was interviewed by the cops after the incident. She was then instructed to not talk. I hope the reason is an ongoing roundup of all friends, family, etc. of the bomber, and not a 'public hysteria management' tactic.
Personally, I would like to see a little more 'public hysteria' with regard to terrorism.

I agree but I don't see any reason to inject partisanship into it. It diverts attention from finding the facts.
