That is the most intriguing part to me at this stage- no mention of the person who did this.

As to the second bomb/not bomb that could easily be an example of first reports being inaccurate- it actually could be the squad doing a precautionary detonation of a back-pack or whatever. Now- if there really was another device and they're covering- that's really disturbing. Hard to know at this point.

I find it intriguing too. I keep waiting for them to say, "The name of the person who committed suicide is being withheld until family has been notified." Seems unusual that nothing at all is being mentioned about the person who killed himself (or herself)!

I haven't read to the end yet...maybe this has sorted itself out by this time, and I should start reading from the end of the thread, but I'm thinking along the same lines.

I understand wanting to notify the Next of Kin first, but if the person isnt Middle Eastern, you'd think they would have said something generic about a young man from 'heartland USA' or something to help stop the inevitable speculation.

I remember on 9/11 hearing some reports that the State Department was attacked - then it wasn't. First reports aren't always completely accurate for many reasons.

OTOH, it seems as if the media are at the very least spinning this a bit...Bomb is no longer a word in use apparently, and you would think that they'd be on this like vultures. They run stories out of LA/Katrina that were inflammatory and inaccurate. Why so suddenly responsible?

Time will tell.
