Boston bomb suspect in custody - report
http://tvnz.co.nz/world-news/boston-bomb-suspect-in-custody-report-5409791

Authorities have arrested a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings based on security video that showed a man depositing a bag at the bomb scene before the blasts, CNN reports, citing US and Boston law enforcement sources.

The twin blasts on Monday killed three people, including an eight-year-old boy, and injured 176 others.

The Boston Globe reported that an official briefed on the Boston Marathon bombing investigation said today that authorities have an image of a suspect carrying, and perhaps dropping, a black bag at the second bombing scene on Boylston Street, outside of the Forum restaurant.

CNN says footage from a Lord and Taylor department store security camera and video taken by a local television station helped authorities in their investigation.

BOSTON (AP) — A suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings was taken into custody Wednesday in a breakthrough that came less than 48 hours after the deadly attack, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation said Wednesday.

The official spoke shortly after several media outlets reported that a suspect had been identified from surveillance video taken at a Lord & Taylor store between the sites of the two bomb blasts, which killed three people and wounded more than 170.

The official was not authorized to divulge details of the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The suspect was expected at a Boston courthouse under heavy security, the official said.

Boston Marathon explosions: Live updates

Mark Berman
FBI statement: No arrests

The FBI released this statement in response to the flurry of contradictory reports regarding an arrest:

Contrary to widespread reporting, there have been no arrests made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack. Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate. Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting.

28. Boston's Moakley Courthouse being evacuated

http://www.chron.com/news/article/Boston-federal-courthouse-evacuated-4442142.php

As reporters gathered at the Moakley Federal Courthouse in Boston on Wednesday, officials evacuated the building citing a "code red."

People inside the building were ordered to leave, to hurry and not take the elevator, according to a CBS News reporter inside the building.

Police and reporters were gathered at the courthouse on news that a suspect in the marathon bombings that killed three people and wounded more than 170 had been identified and was in custody.

A bomb threat may have been called in.

[Coyotl]

29. There was a bomb threat response at the Courthouse

per the live feed here:

http://www.necn.com/pages/necn_streampage

Apparently a threat only so far, situation ongoing as building is checked.

As to what is true and what is manipulation of the situation remains in constant flux, it seems. No intense urgency noted at scene.

ON EDIT all clear at Courthouse.

31. Would you like to change your thread title?

No one is in custody as of 3:27PM EDT.

Or maybe just delete the OP?

[Coyotl]

33. Something may actually be going on still. Wait until the presser.

[Rex]

32. Might want to edit the title, since it is not true.

No suspect yet in custody.

[Coyotl]

34. Live blog means live blog

That's was the whole point, to place all the info into a timeline.

35. Oh okay that makes sense.

Didn't think of it like that.

Boston bombing investigators focus on possible suspect in surveillance video
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57579984/investigators-focus-on-possible-suspect-in-marathon-images/

Updated at 3:16 p.m. ET

Authorities investigating the deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon have zeroed in on a man seen on surveillance video near the site of the attack.

At the site of what became the second explosion on Monday, surveillance video captured a white man placing a backpack on the ground while talking on a cell phone, sources told CBS News correspondent Bob Orr.

The man was wearing a black jacket, a grey hooded sweatshirt and a white or off-white baseball cap backwards. He is 6 feet or 6-feet-2-inches tall with a medium build.

Authorities are seeking the man either as a witness or as a possible suspect.

[GoneOffShore]

38. Still no suspect in custody.

And yet your thread title remains the same.

[Coyotl]

41. And it will continue to say just that

Because this is the story of CNN getting it wrong! It is a Live Blog of that very event.

39. Latest Update From NECN

FBI has identified a POTENTIAL suspect. Found him after going over all the images submitted by people in the area. Still no name.

It doesn't sound like we will see the picture until they find the guy. They don't want to tip him off, which is a shame because I bet some of the Internet groups could ID him in an hour.
