| Update: FBI Arrests 2 After Bomb-Linked Searches In Boston, NY |
| 2010-05-13 |
| From Reuters (more news about us than we get from us) H/T The Corner Update: 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." |

| #3 Now 4: A Pakistani man detained by that country's government has told interrogators he is an accomplice of the Pakistani-American who planted a bomb in New York's Times Square, according to The Washington Post. Have Eric Holder, Mayor Bloomberg and Contessa Brewer committed seppuku yet? It would be the honorable thing to do. |

| #2 3 arrested now Two Pakistani men suspected of providing money to Times Square car bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad were arrested by the FBI in a string of Thursday morning raids across the Northeast, law enforcement officials said. Three people were arrested on suspected immigration violations: the two Pakistani men in the Boston area and one person in Maine. The two Boston-area men had a "direct connection" to Shahzad, a Pakistan-born U.S. citizen, said a top Massachusetts law enforcement official. They are believed to have provided money to him, but investigators weren't sure whether they were witting accomplices or simply moving funds, as is common among people from the Middle East and Central Asia who live in the U.S., said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. |
