This is an excellent report on the behind the scenes investigation and suspect.

1. yes

I am watching it now on line...thank you for the link very helpfull

2. Suspect info

Wearing black jacket, gray hoodie, had white baseball cap on backwards, and black backpack. Suspect also seen on cell phone at time of first bomb exploding. Suspect then seen putting bag down at second bomb site, and then disappearing into crowd. Investigators took all cell phone calls made at that moment, had photos of all who made the calls and found suspect that way. Absolutely amazing work here.

8. I'm at work...but has anybody looked for someone meeting this description in the pictures???

Would be interesting based on this information to see if we could find him.

3. if lead pans out

They will walk back terrorism wording

[Oilwellian]

5. I don't think that will work any longer

Using bombs in public squares is the epitome of terrorism.

20. Not really. It could also be simply a crime...

From the Federal Code of Regulations:

“the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives”

From the FBI
"Domestic terrorism is the unlawful use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States or Puerto Rico without foreign direction committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of political or social objectives. "

We won't know if the bomber had any political or social objectives until he is caught.

15. Like they did with McVeigh?

No wait, they didn't....

4. Yup Cell phone logs Video will get you every time. n/t

[Lex]

6. yup

it's crazy that some people still don't realize that but a good thing I suppose

[kentuck]

7. Cell phone records of who called at the same time the explosion happened.

They are on it.

[Oilwellian]

10. Another interesting point

they were able to obtain photos of all of the people who made those calls. How in the hell did they do that? LOL Fantastic sleuthing.

[TeamPooka]

11. and you just know they probably secretly hacked into every one of those phones to find him.

No information is secret,
No information is private,
No information is safe.

21. A savvy bomber would use an anonymous pre-paid cell phone and destroy it after use.

9. A solid, old-school news report

and some clever, high-tech investigative work. Commendable all around.

12. That's actually a good report.

Everything else dims into blather when you compare it to this.

[Oilwellian]

14. I just saw on MSNBC...

They're still using that debunked photo of the trash bag next to the mailbox as the suspected bomb.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

16. That's why I stay away from cable news.

Every time I give them another chance, they burn me again.

I just want accurate news reporting. I don't need it sensationalized or super fast. I just want it accurate.

[Oilwellian]

17. I stay away as well

They really showed their asses today and I just had to see it for myself. LOL

[central scrutinizer]

13. I was addicted to the BBC show MI-5

I know it is just TV and I have no way to know how much of what they depicted was based on actual technology, but with cell phone towers, closed circuit TV, facial recognition software and a huge data base, apparently you can do a lot pretty quickly.

19. Wow! Real news!

Calm and deliberate and informative. Who knew?
