Patriot's Day, tax day, Boston...fuck. Not going to jump to conclusions but that's a coincidence.Aren't multiple bombs an Al-qaeda hallmark? I hope that it's a random crazy person because I doubt our national psyche could cope with either domestic right wing extremists or an Al-qaeda style attack.
Terrorist attack?

Boston Police: No Arrests Have Been Made In Marathon Bombinghttp://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/boston-police-no-arrests-have-been-made-in
A spokesperson for the Boston Police Department said no suspects have been taken into custody yet after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.
"At this time, we haven't been notified of any arrests or anyone apprehended," the spokesperson said.
The New York Post reported that a "Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast" has been identified as "a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing." The Boston PD spokesperson did not confirm that report.
"Honestly, I don't know where they're getting their information from, but it didn't come from us," said the spokesperson.
The Post report was attributed to "a law enforcement source." According to the Post, the "suspect" is "currently being guarded in a Boston hospital."

Seem he was near the explosion and ran away like everybody else but was tackled by some civilian. Apparently he is cooperating with the police but I'm guessing he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The person questioned in the hospital was a Saudi national, who was reportedly tackled and held by a bystander after he was seen running from near the scene of the explosion, said a law enforcement source who spoke with someone involved in the FBI’s investigation.
The Saudi man, believed to be a university student in Boston, is cooperating with the FBI and told agents that he was not involved in the explosions, and that he ran only because he was frightened. Investigators did not characterize the man as a suspect. No one had been arrested or charged by late Monday night.

This is just messed up. I mean, sure, I get a little jealous at runners who have the dedication to get out there every day and do their thing. They just seem so smug. But not enough to blow them up.
By Greg Miller, Tuesday, April 16, 12:05 PM
U.S. law enforcement officials said Tuesday that a Saudi national injured in the Boston Marathon bombing is regarded as a witness, not a suspect.
The Saudi, who is recuperating at a Boston hospital, is in his 20s and is in the United States on a Saudi scholarship to study at a university in the Boston area.
The federal officials’ explanation echoed comments by a Saudi official at the country’s embassy in Washington. The embassy official said that a Saudi national has been questioned as a witness but is not regarded as a suspect. The Saudi official cited information provided to the embassy by U.S. law enforcement officials.
“We’re not aware of any Saudi suspect or Saudi person of interest,” said the Saudi official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the preliminary nature of the information.
He declined to identify the young man, but said he sustained serious burn injuries. The official said the victim is cooperating with U.S. investigators and granted permission for his Boston area apartment to be searched.
“He volunteered to have it searched,” the Saudi official said. “He is fully cooperating with authorities.”
He is one of two Saudi citizens who were injured in the attacks, officials said. The other is a female student who attended the race with her son and husband, and who sustained shrapnel injuries to her legs.
They are among thousands of Saudi nationals who attend college in the United States. The Saudi consulate in New York has dispatched a representative to Boston to meet with the hospitalized Saudi.
King Says Bombing Should Slow Immigration Reformhttp://politicalwire.com/archives/2013/04/16/king_says_bombing_should_slow_immigration_reform.html
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told National Review that Congress "should be cautious about rushing immigration reform, especially after Monday's bombing in Boston, where three people were killed."
Said King: "Some of the speculation that has come out is that yes, it was a foreign national and, speculating here, that it was potentially a person on a student visa. If that's the case, then we need to take a look at the big picture."
He added: "We need to take a look at the visa-waiver program and wonder what we're doing. If we can't background check people that are coming from Saudi Arabia, how do we think we are going to background check the 11 to 20 million people that are here from who knows where."

Elsewhere, like say in Iraq, that's how many people are killed on a daily basis thanks to insurgent bombings.

Parents Of Second Victim Initially Told She Had Survived Boston Attackhttp://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/parents-of-second-victim-initially-told-she-had
In an apparent hospital mix-up, the parents of the second Boston marathon attack victim, Krystle Campbell, were initially told she was live and that her friend Karen had been killed. Via WCVB Boston:
When William and Patty Campbell were finally allowed in to see the patient, they realized it was not their daughter.
“I said, ‘That’s not my daughter, that’s Karen! Where’s my daughter?’" Patty Campbell said.
Did you know about it? I didn't. If I did, I just tuned it out, because it's Syria, so whatcha gonna do? But if there was a bombing in like London or Japan or somewhere, it would have been a bigger deal on the news.
My university is holding a meeting this Friday for Saudi students "to discuss how our office can support you and your families during this time of uncertainty following the Boston Marathon bombings." I don't know how to feel about these preemptive measures. :-\
has this guy "flip-flopped" (hate this term) on gay marriage or gun control recently?
has this guy "flip-flopped" (hate this term) on gay marriage or gun control recently?
He voted for cloture on the Gun Control bill. Apparently that's all it takes to get you a ricin envelope.
Investigators believe they have identified a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, a source who has been briefed on the investigation told CNN's John King exclusively.
The breakthrough came from analysis of video from a department store near the site of the second explosion. Video from a Boston television station also contributed to the progress, said the source, who declined to be more specific but called it a significant development.
Earlier, a federal law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation told CNN that a lid to a pressure cooker thought to have been used in the bombings had been found on a roof of a building near the scene.
While such clues may move the investigation forward, they did not reveal whether the attack was an act of domestic or foreign terrorism.

The man sought as a possible suspect is a white male, wearing white baseball cap on backwards, a gray hoodie and a black jacket, according to CBS News.

I have no faith left in the Mississippi Justice system.

I personally sent out more than a million emails in one year detailing what happened to me when I found the body parts at NMMC. In 2004, 4 arrests were made in New York City. In 2006, another illegal body parts scam was discovered in North Carolina. I am confident that although no local media has agreed to put in print what happened to me in Tupelo or the trigger-happy, intoxicated assistant DA, I know in my heart that my coming forward has brought national attention to this terrible and illegal black market.

Friends staying with us in Osaka had a friend in the marathon. We woke up to Japanese news coverage of the bomb that day, and we were all worried like crazy. Turns out the friend had finished the race long before the bombs, and was already back at their hotel.
I encouraged the runner to get to the airport way ahead of time for their return flight, because it is going to be crazy TSA time again for a while.
If I say this kind of shit makes me want to stay in Japan, have the terrorists already won?
I wonder if all these people being identified as possible terrorists can sue for libel (assuming they didn't actually do it)

Sources tell TheBlaze that the Saudi national is set to be deported on “security and related grounds.” His visa also has been revoked. Below is some of the information that has been communicated to us:
1. One source at the FBI and another at the Saudi Embassy referred to the student as connected to an important Saudi family.
2. An “event” was created on this guy three days ago. An event is a file. The file contains his deportation record and the reason he is being deported. According to ICE the reason is under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities”
3. His visa has been revoked.
4. The FBI said a file was started “just in case he was found to be connected to the crime,” however, the file shows he was scheduled to be deported. This was not a precaution, it was in “orders.”
5. One source said they believe a “voluntary” departure has been signed — that means the Saudi Student could be out of the country as early as today.
6. The file was immediately classified. We believe the deportation order will be classified as well — requiring a FOIA to get it.
7. The story was going to be “he wanted to go home,” however he was actually being deported.
8. Our source said the FBI believes the Saudi student is tied to 2 to 3 more people.
9. Our source said this “looks like they were trying to make this a ‘lone wolf’ crime so, the Saudi government would be spared embarrassment and the U.S. would avoid explaining how a terror cell was active when we had AQ on the run.”

Salah Barhoun, 17, said he went to the police yesterday to clear his name after he found himself tagged in pictures online. He had just gone to watch the race, he said, but soon after the explosions, he was singled out by internet sleuths as looking suspicious. Federal authorities passed around images of Barhoun, attempting to learn more information about him, sources told ABC News.

Okay, to throw a curve in the whole "guess the ethnicity of the terrorist" game, here in Canada we recently had a situation where a group of youths, one being from the middle east, but one being a Korean-Canadian and one being a Greek-Canadian, converted to radical Islam and travelled to Algeria where they took part in that gas plant attack back in January.

Not to diminish the tragic death of the policeman in any way but the scale of this does not suggest that Boston is under siege. Everything about it says that we are seeing a small number of badly outnumbered and outgunned (and poorly-trained, if the comments about throwing the bomb are true) suspects, who may not have any connection to any other recent event. No, this is not season 8 of 24 or Call of Duty 5. It's an arrest.

I kinda hoped it was a white american too (b/c people are dumb and are just gonna have their racist beliefs confirmed by a few assholes) but McVeigh and Ted Kacysziniansksdini were lone wolves. As insane as hillbilly freedom nuts are, they don't tend to carry out coordinated attacks on a worldwide scale or even in the U.S.
So it's not Sunil. Way to go, internet. Bet the family really appreciated the harassment.
Could be a distinction like being culturally Jewish instead of religiously Jewish.Yup, Mana is just dumb. In Russia/Yugoslavia/China there was an ethnic definition "muslim" for a long time. I'm sure people still refer to themselves that way.
Wasn't expecting ties to Chechnya, that seems so ten+ years ago now.

So, Bore, my brother is on Facebook posting outrage upon hearing on CNN that police are kicking in doors and searching and securing houses even if no one is home.
What say you to the civil liberties implications here, Bore? Justified given the unprecedented situation, or no?
is this considered an unprecedented situation? in what respect? genuinely curious.

We need to make a sitcom about three brothers, one is the bumbling clueless CNN, the other is the conniving but witless NYPost and the third is just a regular guy who bails them out of trouble and gives them a stern lecture before they get into trouble again. The first episode can end with his wife saying "have you heard from your brothers" and he says "no" and then she's all "well I guess no news is good news!" and he gets two texts right after that.
I'll leave the title to Malek

FBI now acknowledges they interviewed Tsarnaev 2 years ago at the request of a foreign country about possible extremist ties
The Caucasus Emirate (Chechen: Имарат Кавказ Imarat Kavkaz; Russian: Кавказский Эмират Kavkazskiy Emirat) also known as the Caucasian Emirate is a self-proclaimed virtual state entity,[1][2] partially successor to the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria and was officially announced on October 31, 2007 by former President of Ichkeria Dokka Umarov, who became the first Emir. Its military branch is the Caucasian Front organization. Both the Russian Federation and the United States have designated the Caucasus Emirate as a terrorist organisation.[3][4] The United States government has offered US$5 million for information leading to the capture of the group's leader Dokka Umarov.[4] On July 29, 2011 the United Nations Security Council Al-Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Committee added the Caucasus Emirate to the list of entities associated with Al-Qaeda.[5]

I went to bed before the most recent development on identity of suspects, but did reddit and co. end up getting anything right?

Yea but we're talking about the younger brother. He's a US citizen apparently, and I haven't seen anything that suggests he went overseas recently like he brother.

Will be fun watching the folks most obsessed with TEH CONSTITUTION throw a fit over this guy being treated as demanded by the constitution/law system.
A senior Justice Department official told ABC News that federal law enforcement officials are invoking the public safety exception to the Miranda rights, so that Tsarnaev will be questioned immediately without having Miranda rights issued to him.
The federal government's high value detainee interrogation group will be responsible for questioning him.
The Miranda exemption exists to protect the public safety from another attack, according to the official.

Sounds like the official response is maybe unprecedented, but the immediacy of the threat? I can't imagine that finding the bombers in this case could be a more urgent or important task than finding the Oklahoma City bomber. For that matter, we had the anthrax scare and the Beltway sniper running around in the post-9/11 days and none of the crappy local sports teams cancelled their games.
So right now I'm inclined to think that as traumatic as the event was, there was an overreaction by the authorities.
Boogie, that sort of house by house door kicking is what we would do in Iraq. Boston is not Iraq. There used to be British soldiers that would do that sort of thing in Boston, remember?
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) claimed Saturday on Fox News that the captured Boston bombing suspect was motivated by radical Islam and on a "jihad mission." He urged the Obama administration to declare him an enemy combatant.
"They were on a jihad mission and the reason you want to capture a terrorist is to find out about what other terrorist are up to," Graham said, referring to suspects Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was arrested Friday night, and his brother Tamarlan, who died Thursday in a shootout with police.
"Ask the people in Boston. Radical jihadists are trying to attack us here at home. Every day we face threats from radical Islamists and they are coming through our back yard and trying to radicalize American citizens," the senator said. "The reason we wanted to capture him alive is find out about the attack and find out who he trained with and what connections to ... terrorism."
Apparently the younger brother went back to school after the bombing

The Nibiru cataclysm is a supposed disastrous encounter between the Earth and a large planetary object (either a collision or a near-miss) which certain groups believe will take place in the early 21st century. Believers in this doomsday event usually refer to this object as Planet X or Nibiru. The idea that a planet-sized object could collide with or pass by Earth in the near future is not supported by any scientific evidence and has been rejected as pseudoscience by astronomers and planetary scientists.[1]
The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder,[2][3] founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extra-terrestrials from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain. She states that she was chosen to warn mankind that the object would sweep through the inner Solar System in May 2003 (though that date was later abandoned) causing Earth to undergo a pole shift that would destroy most of humanity. The prediction has subsequently spread beyond Lieder's website and has been embraced by numerous Internet doomsday groups, most of which linked the event to the 2012 phenomenon. Although the name "Nibiru" is derived from the works of the late ancient astronaut writer Zecharia Sitchin and his interpretations of Babylonian and Sumerian mythology, Sitchin denied any connection between his work and various claims of a coming apocalypse.
Weekly World News is reporting the brothers were taking orders from Batboy.

While he is white, he wears attire that would make the black panther party proud. All that black. On a white man! Sacrilege.
I'm no expert on these matters, but all the evidence I've heard so far leaves little doubt in my mind that this was a sophisticated attack against America carried out by a highly-trained group operating with military-style precision.

It's funny how all these terrorist attacks keep happening in the liberal parts of America while the real heartland and southern parts of America remain untouched.

Monday on radio, Glenn Beck revealed further details about the Saudi national who was the first suspect in the Boston marathon bombing. Despite denials from Janet Napolitano and officials from the U.S. Immigrations and Customs (ICE) that a Saudi national was taken into custody in connection to the Boston marathon bombing, several sources have confirmed that Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi was set to be deported for proven terrorist activity.
According to two FBI sources, Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi was taken “into custody” Monday April 15th at a Boston after he was injured in the blast.
A source within the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) told TheBlaze that on Monday night Al-Harbi’s Revere, Massachusetts apartment was searched and property was taken out.
At 4:00pm ET on Tuesday April 16th, The NCTC Field Watch Commander created an “event file” calling for Al-Harbi’s deportation using Section 212 3b, which is proven terrorist activity. According to TheBlaze’s sources, tagging someone as 3b requires solid evidence.
Fox News reporter Todd Starnes has also reported, “The Saudi national who was initially detained and then ruled out as a suspect in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack had been flagged on a terror watch list and was granted a student visa without being properly vetted, sources have told me.”
Starnes report no longer appears on the Fox News website, but can be found on Townhall.
Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) has told TheBlaze that he has detailed information on the Saudi national and confirmed that Al-Harbi was to be deported under Section 212 3b of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Alongside three other Congressmen, Rep. Duncan has requested a classified briefing on the Saudi national and the deportation order.
Boogie, that sort of house by house door kicking is what we would do in Iraq. Boston is not Iraq.
I'm guessing the bombshell will come tomorrow since today is the deadline. I'm betting $5 Beck's bombshell will be a "he is an acquaintance of someone who is an acquaintance of someone who is on a terrorist watch list" guilt-by-association game

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck told his audience with certainty on Monday that the Saudi national who was detained in the immediate wake of the Boston bombings last week, Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, was involved in the attack on the Boston Marathon. Beck said that sources tell him that the Saudi was marked by U.S. officials as a likely violent extremist. He added that this event, in combination with meetings between ranking officials American federal government and Saudi authorities, raise troubling concerns.http://www.mediaite.com/online/glenn-beck-was-saudi-national-deported-by-obama-admin-involved-in-boston-bombing/
WASHINGTON (AP) — In the years before the Boston Marathon bombings, Tamerlan Tsarnaev fell under the influence of a new friend, a Muslim convert who steered the religiously apathetic young man toward a strict strain of Islam, family members said.
Under the tutelage of a friend known to the Tsarnaev family only as Misha, Tamerlan gave up boxing and stopped studying music, his family said. He began opposing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He turned to websites and literature claiming that the CIA was behind the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and Jews controlled the world.
...
Tamerlan took an interest in Infowars, a conspiracy theory website. Khozhugov said Tamerlan was interested in finding a copy of the book "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," the classic anti-Semitic hoax, first published in Russia in 1903, that claims a Jewish plot to take over the world.
"He never said he hated America or he hated the Jews," Khozhugov said. "But he was fairly aggressive toward the policies of the U.S. toward countries with Muslim populations. He disliked the wars."
One of the brothers' neighbors, Albrecht Ammon, recently recalled an encounter in which Tamerlan argued about U.S. foreign policy, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and religion.
Ammon said Tamerlan described the Bible as a "cheap copy" of the Quran, used to justify wars with other countries.
"He had nothing against the American people," Ammon said. "He had something against the American government."
Khozhugov said Tamerlan did not know much about Islam beyond what he found online or what he heard from Misha.
"Misha was important," he said. "Tamerlan was searching for something. He was searching for something out there."
"He had nothing against the American people," Ammon said. "He had something against the American government."
Boogie, that sort of house by house door kicking is what we would do in Iraq. Boston is not Iraq.
Interestingly, that is the same comparison that my brother made (he did two tours in Afghanistan).
And I am not saying that I automatically support such search actions by the police.
At first, I thought the response was warranted, but since Friday I have come around more towards Mandark's position, especially considering how the lockdown and house by house search wasn't actually effective in finding the suspect, and it was only after the lockdown was lifted that a citizen located the guy.
I guess I'm still sort of fence-sitting on that front.

It's amazing to see the complete breakdown of American news media in the face of the likes of Reddit and Twitter. Now, rather than just trying to beat other 24-hour cable news shows to the scoop, they're trying to outrace social media that has absolutely no oversight on what's said or who's saying it.
