Very short press conference, especially when asking for public help ..why not take questions, instead shut them off.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

..maybe...could be Italian as well...Mediterranian Basin area, almost certainly...

It looks like he has that tight curly hair, that is common to Egyptians, Lebanese, and Iranians that I've known.

[ken5050]

Too bad “America’s Most Wanted” is off the air..

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Maybe these guys were PAID to ‘drop off” the backpacks, not knowing what was inside..thinking it was a dope deal or something..wow would that be unreal.

[Cyber Liberty]

Tell that to an Arab Iranian. Then run.

[GOPJ]

Isn’t there a way the FBI could clean up these pictures so the image would be sharper?

[rintense]

He def. looks bow legged.

[no-to-illegals]

Kiddos!

[dragnet2]

Absolutely...

Why no questions!!!

[concerned about politics]

Face book picture from RELEASED Saudi suspect.....I see those guys here. Does anyone else?

[Cyber Liberty]

They’d be in Alaska by now.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I dont know what they call themselves now but my friend is Iranian and she refers to herself and others like her as “Persians” I grew up with them, went to high school with them..they dont call themselves Iranian unless they just came here from Iran, they call themselves Persian

[no-to-illegals]

That was meant to be kuddos. My apology

[cajungirl]

I know Persians ans they call themselves that.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Maybe these guys were PAID to ‘drop off” the backpacks, not knowing what was inside..thinking it was a dope deal or something..wow would that be unreal.

If they were Boston college students, it's not inconceivable.

[rockabyebaby]

Suddenly the Feds want the public’s help...

They've been asking for help all week, in fact on Tuesday they were at Logan asking people (who were leaving Boston) for photos from the marathon.

[tomkat]

I found that very strange

Don't care for your totalitarianism served quite so blatantly, comrade ?

[conservative98]

I thought the 2nd suspect looked like the guy from the movie, Summer School.

[potlatch]

Wonder who the guy is that they had handcuffed the day it happened? It’s a Reuter’s picture so I can’t post it;

"Tell that to an Arab Iranian. Then run."

LOL.....I don't know if I would say it to their faces..... Nevertheless, they are NOT Persian. Just like I'm not Prussian.
