Authorities have confirmed to The Post that they have identified a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing.

The suspect — a Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast — is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital.

Probably safe to say it wasn't Korea.
Would it help if I asked if you wanted to practice breeding selectively?

Good then... You'll obviously know that Fox News is taking direct reports from the Fox local affiliate and the local affiliates have little to do with FNC. They are separate entities.

I am stereotypical but this doesn't surprise me. Things won't change, they hate us and will continue too (while there are a lot of them who dont) the radicals/extremist want us gone.

They have already reported that the fire at the JFK Library is not related to the explosions.

The director of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum says that a 3 p.m. fire inside the building's mechanical room was not caused by a device and is apparently not related to the explosions at the Boston Marathon finish line.

Tom Putnam, the director of the JFK Library, said that the incident was confined to a mechanical room near the archive section of the library.

Im talking about the Commissioner saying its related. They still don't know, but he's treating as related. Nothing from any news channel, from the Commissioner mouth.

Please keep the political stuff in the Podium guys, thanks. Smilie

Im just repeating what the Commissioner just said on the press conference. Personally I think they are just looking at all angles right now.
