Big News for the FBI! Wow! one arrest and no connections to a Boston arson incident on the same day

Boston Marathon runner’s accounts

Neil Gottlieb had just crossed the finish line of the 117th Boston Marathon in 3 hours 40 minutes and was filing his way through a chute to get some water and snacks when a pair of explosions near the finish line on Boylston Street that “almost lifted us all off our feet,’’ he said.

“There was one very large explosion probably maybe 100 yards from where I was standing,’’ said Gottlieb, a 44-year-old from Philadelphia. “It almost lifted us all off our feet. There was no mystery as to what had just happened. Then, maybe, within two seconds later there was another explosion, it didn’t seem quite as big, but there was clearly there as a mushroom-type cloud.

“There was no question that some sort of bomb or something went off there.’’

Right after I left Massachusetts the FBI made the largest bust of organized crime in their history. While several important Mafia leaders were arrested in other states, few arrests were obtained in a state I spent much of my early life. Without doubt, I know there are many organized crime syndicates - including the Mafia - operating in Massachusetts. How did Director Mueller the third - A GEORGE W. BUSH Jr. appointee - overlook making arrests in that wealthy state? How did Romney and Brown - TWO REPUBLICANS - win elections in such a liberal state, while I lived there?
