[NYPOST] Investigators have a suspect -- a Soddy Arabian
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face...
national -- in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.
Do tell? I was expecting a Pak, maybe a Bangla.
Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.
"I'm countin' on you, Mahoney!"
"I'll keep an eye on him, chief!"
Fox News reported that the suspect suffered severe burns. It was not immediately clear why the man was hospitalized and whether he was injured in the attack or in his apprehension.
I'm guessing he was hospitalized due to the severe burns. What's your guess?
Shrapnel wounds?
The man was caught less than two hours after the 2:50 p.m. bombing on the finish line of the race, in the heart of Boston.
Two hours? And the guy's fried like an egg?
In addition, Boston police have surveillance video of someone bringing multiple backpacks to the blast site, according to CBS News.
"Y'know, chief, if he wasn't so severely burned he'd look kinda like that guy on the tape!"
"Mahoney, if you didn't have red hair and a beer muscle you'd look kinda like him!"
Police also confirmed that there was a third explosion, at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. It was not immediately clear how much damage was done or whether it was related to the bombings at the marathon finish line. The library bombing occurred about 4:30 p.m. and more than a mile from the marathon.
A law enforcement source confirmed to The Post that 12 people were killed and nearly 50 were injured in today's blast.
