Authorities ID suspect as Saudi national in marathon bombings, under guard at Boston hospital

EDIT: Two media outlets reporting conflicting information, so not sure if this is reliable information.



The BPD already shot this down. Don't breathlessly follow the initial reports; they're chaotic, reporters are incentivized to jump the gun.


I wouldn't trust the NY Post at all. They're also still reporting 12 dead even though everyone else is saying 2.

Also denied about 15 minutes ago by the Boston Commisioner of police.


The NY Post is the only one reporting this, and they're not exactly known for accuracy.


I was about to argue that making something up about this was beyond the level of inaccuracy that NyPost might stoop to, but then I realized I do not know. I guess we will find out soon enough.


Yeah, pretty sure it was the case of being a Saudi nearby the explosion.

10-to-1 this is a domestic issue. If it was international terrorism, wouldn't someone have claimed responsibility by now?
