Boston Bombing Suspect Identified, Arrest Made
2013-04-17
It appears the hunt for the so far unidentified Boston nomber may be coming to an end. From Bloomberg:

OFFICIALS BELIEVE BOMBING SUSPECT IDENTIFIED, CNN SAYS
ONE SUSPECT CLEARLY IDENTIFIED IN VIDEO, CNN'S KING SAYS
AUTHORITIES HAVE IMAGE OF SUSPECT W/BAG AT 2ND BOMB SITE:GLOBE
IDENTIFICATION COMING FROM STORE SECURITY CAMERA, CNN SAYS
Authorities have an image of a suspect carrying, and perhaps dropping, a black bag at the second bombing scene - Globe.com

And the kicker:

Suspect is a "dark-skinned male" according to CNN. Apparently that is the proper nomenclature.
Update from CNN 1:58 ET: arrest made
(CNN) -- [Breaking news update at 1:47 p.m. Wednesday ]
An arrest has been made in the Boston bombings investigation based on two videos showing images of the suspect, a federal law enforcement source told CNN's Fran Townsend.
Update from NBC 2:47 ET: suspect sought but no arrest
(NBC) -- [Breaking news update at 2:47 p.m. Wednesday ]
Authorities investigating the Boston Marathon bombing said Wednesday they have the face but not the name of someone seen on video leaving a black bag near the scene of the blasts.
The person was seen on a surveillance camera from a Lord & Taylor department store, one official said. Investigators said they had "solid leads" after viewing hundreds of hours of video. NBC News sources said there had not been an arrest.

#13  Besoeker. Yep. You are correct. IEDs have arrived. As a direct result of knuckledragging politicians running amuck in DC. It is going to be up to us to counter this sadistic state of affairs here now.

If you have a simple free graphics program such as Infranview that can be downloaded and installed on any pc you will be able to import these these images onto your pc, open them with Infranview, and zoom in to the logo of the cap of the far right member of the cargo slacks adorned security detail in the back area viewing the entire scene. You will see that logo is the the Seal Team 6 Skull Mask logo.

Keep up the good work of sluething guys.

#12  I'm still curious about the guys in cargo pants. Maybe I'm becoming gaye :-(

#11  Looks like we might start seeing security tables at the entrances to Malls and other public gatherings. That is what the've been doing for years in the Philippines.

Please open your bag or purse and let us peek inside with this little penlight...

Big Sis was been wanting for years to install TSA in malls, Bus depots, and other places.

#10  Squank: I doubt it. Legitimate "security" personnel [and bad guys] would attempt to blend in, look innocuous. Looking like a knuckle dragging, Oakleys wearing Blackwater contractor is not the desired look.

Tracking a a cellie circuit board detonator from a blast site to a tower, then on to a specific user could be [could be] futile as well. The cellie could be stolen or purchased using no ID or false ID. The Feds are running the traps correctly at this stage, soliciting fotos and video from civilians and businesses.

My only criticism is not having a single point of contact for Law Enforcement (LE) media releases. This may have already been corrected.

Similar to DoD overseas dining facilities (DFACS), you can say goodbye to carrying bug-out bags to events such as the Boston Marathon. this won't stop suicide vests however. It has arrived.

#9  And cargo pants guys still have their bags after the booms in the smokey haze.

#8  Besoeker, cargo pants guy wearing cap with seal team 6 logo = security people.

#7  No arrest made. Just MSM tipping off the suspect.

#5  Tipper, lots of repeats and speculation in the photos at that site.

#4  I don't like the look or the two-handed lock grip that bearded guy has on his...rather hefty looking bug-out bag. Those other fellows wearing caps and cargo pants...troubling also.

#3  Tipper I was just about to post that...

Reminds me of the Beltway sniper.
