Neighbor Discusses Saudi Man Cleared In Bombing Probe

REVERE, MA — Around 6 p.m. on Monday, there was a knock at the door of the apartment that Mohammed Sabri shares with his two brothers. It was the police.
The investigation of Monday’s Boston Marathon bombing had brought them to the floor of Sabri’s building on Ocean Avenue in this seaside city a few miles north of Boston. They were there to search an apartment a few doors down from Sabri’s, the home of a young Saudi man who had been injured in the attack. The police asked Sabri and his brothers if they could ask them some questions.
“We said yeah, he’s a friend of ours,” Sabri, 21, told TPM in an interview on Tuesday. “[He’s] loving and generous.”
Sabri’s down-the-hall neighbor was in a Boston hospital, and had been among those questioned by law enforcement in the aftermath of the incident. Media reports on Monday had suggested that the man was a person of interest or even a suspect in the case. But by Tuesday, lawmakers and officials said that he was being regarded as merely a victim and a witness.
