UPDATE 6:53 p.m. CBS News correspondent John Miller, who is also a former FBI assistant director, says a Saudi national is in fact in custody, is cooperating, and denies involvement.
ABC News is reporting that the devices may have been remotely detonated.
The New York Times reports there may be as many as five devices:
The authorities also found a device at St. James and Trinity Streets that did not explode, the person said, and two other devices were found, including one in Newton, outside of Boston.
UPDATE 6:36 p.m. Multiple sources are reporting than an eight-year-old child is among the dead.
UPDATE 6:25 p.m. Talking Points Memo has called around to Boston-area hospitals. They report between 18-20 people being treated at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, with two in critical condition; 22 being treated at Massachusetts General, with six in critical condition and five in serious condition; and nine being treated at Tufts.

From what I have heard, the area where the explosions occurred are absolutely covered with cameras and cctv.
Are there television cameras everywhere?
Time will tell, but I think you’re wrong.
What does the Boston marathon have to do with Israelis?
Kim Il Sung’s birthday too
The news media and democrats are trying to frame a tea partier upset about the gun bans , except it was Islam that did it.
In September, 2001, I was working at the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. In the few hours after the mayhem ensued on 9/11, we kicked all visitors & non-essential personnel out of the hospital. Sounds like standard operating procedure tome. I wouldn’t read anything into it
Now we know why our political elites shouldn’t be throwing the door open and welcoming everyone to America without knowing who they are, where they come from and what their agenda is.
Under our existing immigration laws, we can still do that, but the political elites don’t want those laws enforced for fear of losing a permanent voting bloc of second-class citizens who refuse to learn English!!
The Boston Bombings should be the lesson to our political elites that we DON’T need comprehensive immigration reform, we need our existing immigration laws enforced and we need to start bouncing all the illegals OUT!!!
People are dead! What DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?!" /Hystillary
Possibly interesting (as far as timing)...the bombs went off well after the “elite” runners finished. Most of the foreign competitors (from overseas) are elite runners.
By the time the bombs went off it was mostly all locals who just wanted to finish...and their families and friends in the crowd.
“What does the Boston marathon have to do with Israelis?”
About as much as the World Trade Center.
From Wiki:
In his November 2002 “Letter to America”, bin Laden cited the United States’ support of Israel as a motivation: “The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its price, and pay for it heavily.”[130] In 2004 and 2010, bin Laden again connected the September 11 attacks with U.S. support of Israel.[136][137][138
I also recall 9/11 was the anniversary of some muslim military defeat, but I can’t recall what.
Obama will just push it under the rug, the MSM will go on an hysterical rant that it was the right wing conservatives. Give it three weeks until they find the real perp was a Saudi and then let it go.
If true, there better be more reports on this. If it was you not being allowed to see a loved one, would you or would you not seek out the media to get this info out? I know I would, and I wouldn't stop trying to get it out until I was on a prime-time news show telling my story.
Oh, here it is:
“It was on September 11 1683 that the conquering armies of Islam were met, held, and thrown back at the gates of Vienna.”

It's business as usual in the post-9/11 world. Your federal government is back to pandering to wealthy travelers from Saudi Arabia. In the eyes of our massive homeland security apparatus, the comfort of Saudis is a higher priority than the safety of American citizens.
And thanks to reckless, feckless bureaucrats who fear being labeled "racists," "xenophobes" and "Islamophobes," political correctness remains the handmaiden of terror.
According to a new report released this week by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT), President Obama's Department of Homeland Security plans to bestow "trusted traveler" status to travelers from Saudi Arabia. Yes, the home of 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers will soon enjoy the exclusive privilege of new entry shortcuts into the U.S.
Jews are finance / banking people, every anti semitic person knows that.(WTC) /s
RACISM!/s
Nice. Idiot.
By now, everyday is probably some type of religious / battle / national anniversary. We’ll see if anyone claims this, and for what reason. Otherwise we’re just speculating.
Sad headline from the Daily Mail - UK:
‘Somebody’s leg flew past my head’: Eyewitnesses reveal horror of aftermath of Boston Marathon bomb blasts
prayers for the wounded.
The NY Post is a tabloid rag. Even if they are correct on any given story, it’s still a good idea to get confirmation from other sources.
thanks for the update. so the Saudi national is cooperating and denying.
