Update: FBI Arrests 2 After Bomb-Linked Searches In Boston, NY
From Reuters (more news about us than we get from us) H/T The CornerUpdate: 11:30 CST "Two search warrants are being executed in the Boston area in relation to the Times Square bomb. They are looking for evidence related to the investigation," spokesman Richard Kolko said in New York, downplaying the significance of the immigration arrests. He declined to comment on any link between the arrests and the investigation. A separate FBI statement issued in Boston stressed that there was no known immediate threat to the public nor any known active plot against the United States. Two locations being searched are a home in the suburb of Watertown and a gasoline station in the affluent suburb of Brookline. "It is a federal investigation and we are assisting," a spokesman for the Brookline police department said. Vincent Lacerra, who lives across the street from the searched home in Watertown, told the Boston Globe he was watching television at about 6 a.m. (1000 GMT) when he heard a commotion outside and the words, "FBI, don't move, put your hands up!" He looked outside to see about 20 agents with guns drawn, the Globe reported on its website. "They all had their guns drawn, pointed at the house," he said. Soon afterward, a man whose age he estimated at 25 to 40 was taken from the house and put into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement van. "I'd never seen him before," Lacerra told the Globe. "It was quite amazing. I've never seen anything like it before. It seemed so real, so overwhelming." Posted by: Sherry 2010-05-13 |
