BREAKING:Explosion At Boston Marathon

Not really 'reporting' this as new news, but rather just to say something ...

Boston official: Video footage shows bomb suspect

BOSTON (AP) — Investigators poring over photos and video from the Boston Marathon bombing have a department-store surveillance-camera image of a man dropping off a bag at the scene of the one of the blasts, a top city politician said Wednesday.

This was on the front page of my local news.
Reason I pasted it here is I hope we dont have another 9/11 type deal with 'word' of footage that shows everything, but we the public, never see it. That's when I begin to question things. Not jumping on any conspiracy theories here ... yet. I really doubt there are any. I think it is what it is this time around.

With all the graphic images and video of what happened that day, I see no reason why a store camera of someone setting a backpack on the ground would not been shown.

How about - protecting innocent people who may look like the perpetrator from vigilante justice????

No footage will be released its an open and active investigation.

They only release footage when they need help finding the person, they have the name and photo of the person and are tracking him down, no need for the public to help, it also may hinder finding them.


I would love to see video, in this circumstance i bet they do release the video, maybe only after the court trial (if that ever happens)

I never said RIGHT NOW ... maybe I should have been clear on that.
If whoever is on that video does become the one who participated in this horrible event, then I hope they release the video.

I've been lurking both this thread, and this one.

What's the motive? I question that, and the story that will be produced once they extract a confession, after they "officially" arrest someone.

The CT in me tells me it's a step up in TSA and DHS security for "All Americans", to prevent such another tragedy.

The real me says this is just another sick person or two. Regardless, the results are the same. It's a step up in the DHS being able to strip more rights from us.

"WE need to search your backpack, before entering this zone, sir."

I honestly can't wait for the facts to sieve out.

Tho I fully agree with your reasoning on why footage is being withheld (I find it funny when people are acting like something weird is going down cus we ain't gotten all evidence the FBI has), I am wondering what makes you think they have the name(s) of the suspect(s).

Last report I heard was speculation from reporters (nothing more) that the FBI may or may not know who did this, have footage of a suspect, and are debating weather or not to ask the public for help or run the operation "dark".

Not doubting you...But I'd like to know if you have a link to info saying they have the "identity" of the suspect(s) being searched for. Cus all my searching throughout the last three quite hours don't reveal such info.


As far as I have heard, there is good reason to suggest they do not have the names yet, just the images. And one"possible" suspect in custody.

I read from a few places that the FBI is using the cell towers to pin point the calls made in and around the times of the bombs going off that is linked up to the video from Lord & Taylor.

The FBI cell phone records from nearby cell towers to pinpoint the number and location of the cell phone that detonated the bombs. The media had earlier reported the bombs were detonated using a timer.

I am not sure if they know who still has done it but they are using that technique and i would not doubt if they have found a positive ID but wont tell the MSM just in case the person is watching or keeping track of this story.

OK...cool. jus wanted to make sure I didn't miss something. Ya, I heard speculation reports from reporters saying they heard the same but weren't sure if it would reveal an identity.

I am pretty sure and have been sure for a while now that they have an identity. Just wanted to know if it was confirmed or not.

ya, the cellphone thing you mention was said by reporters with inside sources and from someone who spoke with the mayor. And i guess it was said that the cellphone call (if it is the right guy) would surly help track location from all calls made and "maybe" give identity.

Still watching, and thank you!

Piers Morgan just had a panel of guests that included a former CIA Agent, former Homeland Security Director, and a former Assistant FBI Director.

All three said that all signs point to Al Qaeda. They said intelligence suggests an encoded message was sent out from AQ leadership that activated terror cells here in the US. They went on to say it was retaliation for US drone strikes.

Will we see more of these attacks in the coming days and weeks?

Interesting.....

In the town of Hanover, near Boston, explosions were heard and police were called at the end of March.

Police and fire investigators are trying to determine who has been setting off a series of homemade explosives near Route 53 in recent weeks. Fire Chief Jeffrey Blanchard said the explosions have not caused any injuries or property damage, but the State Police bomb squad had to be called in after two unexploded devices were found near Pine Street and Tower Hill Drive on March 12. Police had been sent to the area after witnesses at the Target store on the other side of Route 53 reported seeing a bright flash and hearing two explosions.

Might not be anything... might be something....

Hello!!!

newscenter2.verizon.com...

September 20, 2006 – ASHBURN, Va. -- Verizon Business today opened its new Government Network Operations and Security Center (GNOSC), a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to supporting the unique security and operational requirements of its federal government customers. The center, located in Northern Virginia in 30,000 square feet of space built to government security standards, will support the managed network services Verizon Business provides to nearly every federal government agency from the civilian, intelligence and defense communities. The center conducts real-time network monitoring of federal government customers' global network traffic and provides government agencies with a single point of contact to obtain products and services to meet network operations requirements and related security matters. Verizon Business historically has provided leading managed-network services for federal government customers, and the new center enables the company to put both network operations and security operations under one roof. The company will continue to provide managed services at the network operations centers currently in operation. "Establishing the GNOSC is a cornerstone of our strategy for meeting the federal government’s demands for next-generation networking services," said Jerry Edgerton, group president for Verizon Federal, the sales organization within Verizon Business dedicated to serving federal government customers. "With this center, we are putting the customer's physical and systems security first."

Anything covered by Piers is usually sensationalist and unsubstantiated. The last thing we need to do is jump on the Al Qaeda bandwagon. Sure it's a possibility, but it also re-opens the floodgates for the war on terror when it was finally beginning to quiet down a bit. Iran wouldn't go past sabre rattling (and also even condemned the actions of the bombers in Boston) and North Korea hasn't made a move yet and it doesn't appear that they will.. This event may have NO connection to Al Qaeda but they could easily make it appear that way...

I'm not jumping to any conclusions or dismissing the infamous "radical terrorist" group.. But I'm also not going to put the blame on them just yet..

If it does turnout to be Al Qaeda, isn't the timing a bit odd considering how things have been going with the "War on Terror".. Isn't it convenient? There is a whole other can of worms in the CIA-Al Qaeda connection.

On CNN tonight, one of the reporters said that the photo they are interested in showed one of the suspects sort of cupping his mouth, which would correspond with a photo being talked about at Reddit for the past 24 hours. This has to be what she is referring to. I've been looking at this picture all day.....

Just heard this reporter say it during Anderson Cooper....

FoxNews just said that the Saudi national who was detained the day of the bombing as a suspect is being deported back to Saudi Arabia on a national security grounds.

They said this is how things are handled with Saudi Arabia, as they are an ally, and it would be an embarassment to them to have one of their citizens detained here.

I wonder what his charge was?

They also said Obama had an unscheduled meeting today with the Saudi leader.

Totally agree. I'm not at all ready to jump on the AQ bandwagon.

If you think it's only because of this thread, you're kidding yourself.

I saw that report. I think these two could very likely be our bombers. They lose their bags at some point. They said the FBI is poring over pics to see if there are any of individuals who had a bag in one pic and no bag in another.

These two "lost" their bags at some point.

ETA: The more I watch CNN the more I am convinced this is the photo they are talking about. They won't release the pics or any description of the two suspects in the photo. All they said earlier is one of the individuals was covering his mouth, possibly to conceal what he was saying.

But it seems odd for them to be hammering my ip so bad.Every second or two there is another one none stop.

He speaks the truth.. You're willingly putting yourself out there for them by being a member here. Unless you've done something/said something to set off any major flags you're probably fine. I'd venture to guess (and not to toot our own horns here) that they even glean some decent insight from sources like ATS.. I'm not saying we're solving crimes, but we certainly do cover all the angles. I'm sure they get a lot of laughs out of some of the stuff they read here too lol.. I know I do..
