Boston official: Video footage shows bomb suspect
Associated Press ^ | 4/17/13 | DENISE LAVOIE and RODRIQUE NGOWI

BOSTON (AP) -- In what could be major break in the Boston Marathon case, investigators are on the hunt for a man seen in a department store surveillance video dropping off a bag at the site of the bombings, a local politician said Wednesday.

Separately, a law enforcement official confirmed that authorities have found an image of a potential suspect but don't know his name.

The development - less than 48 hours after the attack, which left three people dead and more than 170 wounded - marked a possible turning point in a case that has investigators analyzing photos and videos frame by frame for clues to who carried out the twin bombings and why.

City Council President Stephen Murphy, who said he was briefed by Boston police, said investigators saw the image on surveillance footage they got from a department store near the finish line and matched the findings with witness descriptions of someone leaving the scene.

If it was a white guy, do you realize how much that would have helped Obama today? It would have pushed him right over the top in the Senate vote.

A Saudi moslem cell would do exactly the opposite.

They have thousands of photos, and are certain to have the bomber placing the bomb.
Obama is furious about the vote, and knows he couldnt jam through a pass on the senate bill cracking down on Americans when Moslems attacked us the day before.

It’s still a secret from us. Add it up. And it’s moslems.

If they do have anyone in custody, you can be sure that President Narcissist will wait to announce it himself in Boston tomorrow.

That’s the one I’m talking about. He looks a whole lot like the white hat guy. Do you see the backpack also or are my eyes just playing tricks on me?

Remember the number of devices are more than two that exploded. They may have more folks to be looking for. They (FEDS) most likely have blueloser and whitehatbastard, but dont want the others to know they got them.

WOW, check this out. One of the friends of the Saudi in the hospital yesterday posted this photo of the guy in the hospital with a visit from the Saudi council. (click photo for link)

Rough translation of caption reads:Jihad Abdel Rahman, brother and friend and his image with the Saudi Consul from New York Mr. Azzam bin Abdul Karim al.

Lots of cryptic responses after that. Probably should be its own thread.

I also believe there were more than 2 people responsible. Planters, lookouts and detonators. This was carefully planned and they are not about to let just two people handle it.

Also, everyone else has on spring gear, these guys have on winter coats. The guy in blue is still high on my list though.

I think that if you zoom in on the guy in the blue jacket, and look at his blue duffle bag you can see the outline of the rim of a round container sitting flat in his bag. I think these are likely the guys the Feds are looking at.

SOBs sure have a lot of smiles in that photo. Everyone in Boston so upbeat since the bombing?

Another of his friends posted this comment, apparently they knew it was some Muslims that did the bombing. اسامه الهادى الله اشفيه شفاءا لا يغادر سقما هو ومرضي المسلمينGod wrought recoveries do not leave of sickness of sick Muslims

Arab dudes on a plane headed out of Boston right when a terrorist attack happens, they would be the first ones looked at

and the first ones to get a pass from obama's TSA

Remember there was a flight with two Arabs on it and it either turned back or kicked them off the plane on Mon or Tues.

I am having a hard time seeing the back pack, but my eyes are getting bleary at this point from looking at all this stuff.

So when does a “person of interest” who was running away from the scene gets the first ticket out of the country. I just don’t believe it.

Yeah, from what I understand they were both kicked off the plane and they were seen screaming something in Arabic

"Don’t want any of this leading back to the national leader who is behind this bombing.

Why would they be afraid of anything? Because of how Obama nailed all the guys, who committed the assault in Benghazi?

They'd be crowing!! Come on, Obama isn't going to order anything, except fire another General or put some poor sap moviemaker in prison.

Get with the New Bill Ayers approved America, man (as joe biden would say)>

“Remember the number of devices are more than two that exploded”

My understanding is that there were only two exploding devices. The police evidently did blow up a few packages that they thought might be bombs, but were not. In those cases LE would provide the charge to blow them up to be sure.
