Injured Saudi is a witness, not a suspect, in Boston bombing

[cali]

U.S. law enforcement officials said Tuesday that a Saudi national injured in the Boston Marathon bombing is regarded as a witness, not a suspect.

The Saudi, who is recuperating at a Boston hospital, is in his 20s and is in the United States on a Saudi scholarship to study at a university in the Boston area.


He declined to identify the young man, but said he sustained serious burn injuries. The official said the victim is cooperating with U.S. investigators and granted permission for his Boston area apartment to be searched.

1. That sounds an awful lot like a suspect, not a witness.

How many other witnesses are having their homes searched?

8. well, I've seen his facebook page and he sure doesn't seem like

a likely terrorist.

[justiceischeap]

10. I just wonder if his home is being searched specifically because he's a Saudi National

that's what makes him sound like a suspect. I'm not saying he is one, I'm stating he's being discriminated against if he's only a "witness."

6. you're innocent until proven guilty in this country

unless ur brown skinded.

14. You are correct, we should be checking out every single pasty white male.

15. You're a foreign national from a "suspect" nation in the middle of a high profile terrorism case

Do you a) stand up for constitutional principles, or b) do whatever you can to clear your name?

17. Pragmatic

I'm glad that it looks like he isn't guilty. The jump that the NY POST made on claiming the cops were guarding this "Suspect" really pissed me off.

I don't know who did this act. I'm sorry he was injured by it when a guest in our country.

4. It sounds like the poor bastard was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

11. Wrong place, wrong time, and born to the wrong parents.

It took Fox News about 30 seconds to drag sheriff Arpaio on to blame our lax border security and non white folks pouring over the border to attack us.
