The kenyan is going to have to do some real tap dancing at the Officer’s funeral if he dares show up.

Wish the news could be as much..or even close!

Fox news reporter from Boston was getting his wrap wrong...or others are wrong...

He’s saying the guy arrested resembled Suspect one and now in custody...others are saying he’s dead. Sheesh!

[Colorado Doug]

No weapons recovered yet. Two handguns and a knife in the street. No long guns

Ch 7 just showed one suspect being loaded into a cruiser.. stark naked. Not sure how long ago.

My hunch is they stripped him to check for body bombs - possibly cavity search - not unreasonable IMHO.

He didn’t look to have been shot and was very much alive... so that means he’s at least a third “person of interest”.

If the LEOs stumble on to the cell’s HQ (Mosque?) there will likely be full scale urban warfare.

The marathon bombing was likely a “community project” of some sort, and the perps likely have local support systems.

They may never find the one still at large once he contacts his peeps.

The tough part is sorting out what is factual and what is wishful thinking. If all the photos and names which people are posting turn out to be wrong, which is what some LEO and at least one media source have stated, then it does not seem right at this stage anyway, to compromise their privacy.

Ironic that this jihadi died in a Jewish hospital.... Beth Israel.

Uh oh! No virgins for him.

Motion detectors have gone off in a building. SWAT team responding. Suspect may be there.

Recent Tweet: "Michael Skolnik ‏@MichaelSkolnik it seems that the naked guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time."

IF it’s the same suspect as the suspected Marathon bombers, then I would think that the K9 deserves a much better meal.

[lodi90]

I am leaning toward 60’s radical copycat and/or suicide. Might not be directly muslim related.

‘Update:
The captive one is not the Marathon bomber via FBI.’

What about the suspect who was killed?

[bd476]

The dogs I have heard on the scanner might be K9 patrol. If so I hope they’ll be safe.

oooo, sucks to be him!

Suspect No. 2 is in a commercial building, surrounded by SWAT team.

ruff ruff. snack time.

[caww]

Yes. If this is a nest, or group, that assisted the bombers and the police simply “stumbled” into it, (which i think they did)...then it's pretty tough to know who is who until we hear the briefing.

The Adrenalin is flowing at full speed for all the officers...and no doubt they want these guys bad! It's such a high level operation that's developed over the last four hours.

Something going down at 89 Dexter. Units heading there told not to use radios.

[Colorado Doug]
