Saudi National in custody/under guard according to NY Post.
20 year old suspect.
20 year old suspect.
The board is finally back. I've missed it the last hour or so.
It looks like they have a Saudi national at the hospital being guarded as a suspect. Weren't most of the 9/11 hijackers also Saudi nationals?
I just saw the picture of the guy in the wheel chair, the last image here you must click to view. Holy lord...

Seems like there might have been more things at JFK Library (literally almost right next to where I live) but there's conflicting reports saying it's an unrelated fire.

NY Post reporting the suspect is a Saudi national.

So the JFK library explosion is being treated as a related incident? How far away is the library relative to the marathon site?
EDIT: nvm

NY Post is unreliable trash. Wait for someone credible to confirm.
Don't listen to the NYPost, there is no confirmation of any of their reports yet. No one in NYC takes them seriously and neither should you. Until another source confirms it's just the NYPost being the NYPost.

A lot of unconfirmed stuff at the moment. There was no mention of that at the news conference so I'd say thats unlikely.
3 1/2 to 4 miles.
That is old, the latest info from the Press conference that was just held is that they are treating it as a related incident
I have been keeping up with the Boston Globe live blog:

Same here. I did hear locally reported they have some sort of suspicious surveillance footage of a guy but nothing else.
Source? This is news to me.

So glad Gaf is back, Twitter kept reposting pictures of people with no limbs. Sickened.
The Governor and Police Commissioner just said in their conference that they're not ruling it out as it being connected.
Agreed, if this was to target the people from Newtown then I won't know what to say, I'll just be so shocked that people could be so crewel.

Library yes.
No one else is from what I can tell, it's just the Post being the Post.
Can everyone stop posting NYPost info, they are routinely wrong. Wait until CNN, NBC, ABC, AP, CBS, Routers and the like get info.
I'm at work about 2 miles from the explosions. Luckily I was able to get into contact with my loved ones and friends nearby. A fire started across the street from the explosions at the JFK Library, supposedly unrelated though I'm not sure.
From what I'm hearing, 2 people have died and 23 have been wounded.
Multiple devices have been found.
Police are sweeping the streets and making everyone stay in bars and etc until they have finished.
The explosives were set off in trash cans and people are advised to stay away from trash cans.
I hear police have video now of someone dropping backpacks into trash cans near the finish line of the marathon.
