An arrest has been made in the Boston bombings investigation based on two videos showing images of the suspect, a federal law enforcement source told CNN's Fran Townsend.

Boston University graduate student Lingzu Lu has been identified by the school as the third person who died in Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon.....

It's becoming frustrating. They are doing more to the public

emotionally than anyone is right now. It looks like the info was leaked and the public was not to know possibly.

Portuguese?...damn fureners!

He’s resumed smoking. DAMN that sequesterization !

Newsmedia doesn’t appear to understand the federal system.
A special agent can only arrest a person if there is a warrant or if a crime is committed in his presence.

Once they ID’d the person here, they US Attorney had to be called in. Take him into custody, bring him to federal court, and charge him.

Just took a pic and sent it to my landlords wife. Asked her to send it to him.

He and “the squirrel” have been engaging in a bird feeder conflict for years now!

That pic is perfect!

Has Brian Ross identified him as a Tea Party member yet?

With the obligatory video being looped over and over again of the destroyed Murrah Federal Building.

CNN reported their source told them it was a dark skinned person who they arrested. We’ll see.

It hardly matters - the MSM and CNN have gotten in so many shots at Conservative Americans that we walk away bruised no matter who the monster is...

Boston PD just sent out a tweet saying that there have not been an arrest, per Fox.

About the only thing I am certain of, is that my name is Dan...... everything else is just a guess. ;>)

Hey Salon, first of all the McVeys and Unibombers of this world are far and few in between and the reason they’re treated like “Lone Wolf” is because THEY ARE. Unlike Islamic terrorists who have cells organized around the world doing violent acts under the name of their religion and beliefs. It’s like the difference between a criminal doing a solo act, and one that is part of the Gambino crime family doing a crime on orders from the boss.

What f&*king morons.

The left think they’re so superior in intelligence because they all live and roam among other morons like themselves in major cities. They’re in a dummy bubble. Seriously, a child could tell you the difference between McVey and OBL.

There are a couple photos on other threads that I remember seeing a guy with a white hat turned backward wearing a black coat. Probably the same guy.

It was not me that said that people may have speculated that the Sandy Hook killer was Muslim.

I just pointed out that no one is hoping that the Marathon Bomber is a Muslim.

[bigdaddy45]

I am. And I’m not afraid to say it. I’d certainly rather it be a Muslim whack job than a Christian whack job. Because whoever it is, its going to be politicized. But at this point, who knows.

[NFHale]

The worse point of that article is that they’re worried if it’s a minority of any sort it will set back their agenda and hurt dear leader.

[Sacajaweau]

Relax...It’s not a wish...just a very, very reasonable possibility.

[GOPJ]

Yeah, but the Unibombers - while being a total liberal - was NOT identified that way in the press. The MSM chose to see him in lone wolf terms. Not so when the monster's a conservative... And that's the problem. Any liberal could ‘break a few eggs to make an omelet’ and the press would do their dirty work... Joseph Stalin created the technique - standard leftest stuff...

I hope they release the name soon. I think I saw that picture too.

[DouglasKC]

Someone just glancing at this might easily think that Lingzu Lu is the suspect.

Yes, not well written at all.

This sounds like a lot of legal parsing. No one has been "arrested" or is in "custody." It could be that they are holding and questioning someone as a "witness" to what may have happened. No charges have been levied so it was not necessary to read them his Miranda warnings.

They could be using the time to go after some additional information on this guy and his connections. They could be raiding his apartment, looking at his passport files, etc.

Personally, I think they have the guy (s) and are now gathering the information to charge him. The leaked information was "true," but it was premature.

[mlizzy]

Was he eating skittles?

Hmmm, no mention of Skittles ... yet.
