But, usually male. Yep. Wonder why that is.

(549 posts)But I'm not as surprised. It doesn't seem like this was a professional attack. No surprise this guy let himself get captured on video. Plus there were security and personal cameras everywhere.

(8,303 posts)They ought to be looking for persons who bought pressure cookers, though.
It's a bulky item and someone should have bought two pretty locally.
I sure hope this investigation doesn't end up like the Atlanta thing. I know everyone would heave a sigh of relief to hear someone had been arrested, but narrowing down the investigation too soon can be a huge mistake.
I am caught between the hope that the evil idiot who packed a bomb with metal fragments to maximize his/her yucks has been identified and the fear that a plausible lead will divert the investigation from the real perp.
It's paradoxical, but I'd feel better if there were less leaks?

(25,171 posts)Pete Williams just referenced what "others are reporting" and said that the information they have is that investigators have zeroed in on some suspects. They are making progress and narrowing it down, but haven't set their sights on one person.
