Terrorist Attack at Boston Marathon #4

[katydid23]

Conflicting info now. The reporter on MSNBC is NOW saying that LE knows the identity of suspect #2 and the LE spokesman agreed with her. So I am confused.

No vehicle traffic in and out of Watertown... no business allowed to be open.
Wow.

MIT is not on break this week. They had a 2-day Patriots Day vacation for Monday and Tuesday only. Classes resumed on Wednesday. However, classes are canceled Friday because of the Thursday incident.

It was not NY Times, it was the NY Post.

"Post editor Col Allan defended the newspaper's decision to run its cover and the story, telling The Huffington Post's Michael Calderone: "We stand by our story. The image was emailed to law enforcement agencies yesterday afternoon "seeking information about these men, as our story reported. We did not identify them as suspects."

They may not have used the word 'suspect' so they can claim that technicality.

imo we all know what they were implying by linking these two men with the bombings, highlighting that their descriptions matched the police description, then saying police wanted to talk to them.

Oh my God! I just woke up. Trying to figure out what happened. These guys have international ties? What country? Are they foreign terrorists like 9/11?

Thanks for the correction, Bourne. I was just going by what the poster I'd quoted had said.

Yes, I was wrong - I had the New York Times and New York Post mixed up. I think I've edited them all, but if you find any others where I've left NYT can you please let me know so I can fix it? Thanks.

On the radio (AM 710 I think?), a woman in Watertown was just in tears describing the 15+ FBI agents raiding the house next door.

 

[MLO]

Or what about if it was all a frigging fake out so as to get it documented for an upcoming legal defense? Afterall, he's smart - very smart...

Some how, I don't think he's going to need a lawyer.

India/Indian=Pakistan Do you read/keep up with the news????????

Yes I do. I haven't seen anything in the mainstream media or from authorities where India or Pakistan were named as the countries of origin of the two suspects.

If you have mainstream media or confirmation from the authorities that the terrorists are/were from Pakistan can you please post the link so I can catch up?

Thanks!

Also, India and Pakistan may be neighbours but India =/= Pakistan.
