Have they confused the incidents? How do they know its a marathon guy? dkf Apr 2013 #1
Ahh they checked the pics. They probably have a fairly complete profile on him already. avaistheone1 Apr 2013 #3
I got the impression the Watertown events happened in response to the Voice for Peace Apr 2013 #137

Holy crap. drm604 Apr 2013 #11
Holy crap indeed ... brett_jv Apr 2013 #139
If it's the bombers, what would make these numbnutz stay in the same city days later? TwilightGardener Apr 2013 #10
Ugh why do you think? ForgoTheConsequence Apr 2013 #12
Given their identities are being put on blast by the FBI now alp227 Apr 2013 #15
Well, I mean, Monday night. They could have simply driven away. TwilightGardener Apr 2013 #23
I guess they were going for a crime wave like the 2002 Beltway snipers n/t alp227 Apr 2013 #29
I believe flights out were stopped by authorities that day to prevent that, and road blocks. freshwest Apr 2013 #33

Sentences in article conflict with premise of headline: elleng Apr 2013 #13
The source for the opening sentence is alp227 Apr 2013 #16
stating that they are not sure if they are. diabeticman Apr 2013 #17
Apparently a second man has been taken into custody....Short black hair Rowdyboy Apr 2013 #18
WHDH is reporting the first suspect died; hard to know what to believe at this point. JenniferJuniper Apr 2013 #19
If it is one of the bombers, I hope not. I want them put on trial. freshwest Apr 2013 #40
YouTube video, apparently from a local resident. drm604 Apr 2013 #20
Wow, it is amazing how fast people put stuff on the internet davidpdx Apr 2013 #24
Thanks, that's what people were talking about hearing earlier. freshwest Apr 2013 #25
CNN is saying a second suspect is in custody davidpdx Apr 2013 #22
ARE U SERIOUS??? Or just trying to be funny? Dan Ken Apr 2013 #34
Read this article & see why CNN has become the butt of jokes lately: alp227 Apr 2013 #47
Yes, I'm well aware of that davidpdx Apr 2013 #53
i was also watching the BBC World Service online. alp227 Apr 2013 #58
It's possible they had someone in Boston and then had to pull them and move them to Texas davidpdx Apr 2013 #67
Do you get Al Jazeera English there? Turborama Apr 2013 #65
It's about the same here in Korea davidpdx Apr 2013 #68
You sure that wasn't the Huffington Post? Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2013 #39
No davidpdx Apr 2013 #51
Why? Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2013 #52
I haven't been to the Huffington Post site today davidpdx Apr 2013 #55
Haven't you heard about CNN? Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2013 #62
Sounds like one of the suspects was the missing student. ForgoTheConsequence Apr 2013 #27
Seriously? That possibility had actually crossed my mind. drm604 Apr 2013 #28

CNN just showed a shot of the guy getting into the car davidpdx Apr 2013 #32
New pictures of the two suspects from the FBI: freshwest Apr 2013 #37
Doesn't look like either of the two guys who shot up Watertown today, though. AverageJoe90 Apr 2013 #42
Then our OP may be wrong. I've only seen a pic of 'dude' who was released there in Waterdown. freshwest Apr 2013 #46
But the television station is still continuing to show pics of the bombers right now: freshwest Apr 2013 #49
TV keeps saying it is them. Still looking for IEDs and SWAT on the scene. Robots scooping up IEDs. freshwest Apr 2013 #79
Okay, FBI pic of both: freshwest Apr 2013 #43
I've seen that one davidpdx Apr 2013 #57
I can't even put on CNN anymore. It's completely unreliable. SleeplessinSoCal Apr 2013 #44

"A home on Dexter that police have lit up with spotlights." onestepforward Apr 2013 #80
I heard that on the live tv link. I hope no one is in there, except the suspect. freshwest Apr 2013 #82
Me too. onestepforward Apr 2013 #88

Sunil Tripathi is 6' 2"? this guy doesn't look anywhere near that tall >>> Roland99 Apr 2013 #92
Reddit users saying Suspect one died not from a gunshot OKNancy Apr 2013 #93
I think that's a typo Earth_First Apr 2013 #94
What I heard was "Suspect 1" lit and threw a bomb but not far enough.... Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2013 #95
sounds right.. all this is very confusing OKNancy Apr 2013 #96
He's "Suspect #2" until we hear otherwise. Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2013 #97
No...LEO have said it's not. saying both are foreign nationals w/possibly military backgrounds Roland99 Apr 2013 #99
Where did you here that?? SkyDaddy7 Apr 2013 #100
MSNBC Roland99 Apr 2013 #101
BBC says AP says they may be Chechen muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #105
It's all over the news now. Suspect on the run is Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev Roland99 Apr 2013 #107
AP: reports the suspects are from a Russian region near Chechnya leveymg Apr 2013 #111
MSNBC: all public transportation in Boston being shut down Roland99 Apr 2013 #98
Well, We'll Find Out If Vogon_Glory Apr 2013 #102
I know. If they are Chechen, what would be their motive? OKNancy Apr 2013 #103
Chechens are mostly Muslim muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #109
The family name is of Russian origin, region identified as Russian - probably Orthodox not Muslim. leveymg Apr 2013 #114
Looking for other uses, I find "Said Tsarnaev" and "Ruslan Tasrnaev" muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #115
Said is usually Muslim, Ruslan is a Christian non-Slavic given name leveymg Apr 2013 #116
I think that's saying "non-Slavic/non-Christian", not "Christian non-Slavic" muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #121
As in Tamurlane (many spellings) GeoWilliam750 Apr 2013 #126
On second glance, I agree. leveymg Apr 2013 #138
Being Muslim isn't a motive. Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2013 #148
No, but if you want a motive for a Chechen who attacks the American public muriel_volestrangler Apr 2013 #149
Everyone wants to promote the notion that there is a vast terrorist network. Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2013 #150
