Okay source is the Daily Mail. Not the best source, however they appear to be publishing pics and stories before US media. It goes without saying use your own best judgement to evaluate these photos and story.

[Liberal_in_LA]

1. dark skinned? Doesn't look dark skinned to me

[wryter2000]

7. My reaction exactly!

I remember after Oklahoma city, the immediate talk was about Arabic men, but the composite pictures were obviously white.

[City Lights]

10. Ha! That's my thought, too!

What's going on here...

[avaistheone1]

22. I don't get it either. I don't understand why he is described as dark skinned.

[hifiguy]

24. The guy in the pic as as white as I am.

Some intentional disinformation here, methinks.

[justiceischeap]

2. Pretty sure the guy running away is the Saudi National the police spoke to at the hospital

who had serious burns.

[gateley]

6. Ah, the would kind of explain his heading away and not covering his ears --

Pain!

Did they dismiss him as a suspect?

[justiceischeap]

8. I haven't heard whether they dismissed him or not

all I heard about him, and why I'm guessing it's him, is because they said a guy ran away from the blast and was later talked to at the hospital and he gave them permission to search his apartment.

[uppityperson]

27. Yes. They interviewed and is not a suspect.

[kenny blankenship]

38. But this is the Daily Mail, and so the fact that he is sorta headed towards Mecca

while everyone else sorta runs the other way is proof enough.

[uppityperson]

39. Exactly!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

9. His pant leg is all ripped up --

I think you are correct.

[gateley]

3. Thos are actually good photos -- and good coverage. We realize at this point it's still speculation

regarding the guy in black. (But that photo where he's the only one not ducking and covering his ears -- hmmmmm...)

[wryter2000]

4. If that was the guy

He sure didn't look "dark skinned" to me. He looked fairly pale.

[randome]

5. And that is NOT a black backpack.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

11. I thought that was kind of 'strange' myself...

... when the photographer said that the pics could be an hour apart...

... as runners crossed the finish lines, I'm sure the people changed places, moved around etc... so the speculation that this package was on the ground for over an hour with no one getting suspicious...

... well made me suspicious.

[justiceischeap]

16. You are correct. However, the mailbox looking thing next to it, is a trashcan

and the authorities are saying the blast came from there. So, the backpack may have belonged to someone standing at the fence and the bomb in the trash can. (Just speculating)

[arcane1]

20. It's also not where the bomb was located

The bomb was on the other side of the security fence.

[winter is coming]

21. This pic was discussed yesterday, and that "bag" was considered

unlikely to be the bomb.

[randome]

23. Thanks all of you. I thought this oft-repeated photo had been validated.

I should not have assumed that.

[librechik]

25. this pic--how did the bag get on the wrong side of the fence? Only runners are allowed streetside

[randome]

29. Anyone could have dropped it over the fence. But this may not even be the bag in question.

[Rex]

35. Not a black backpack OR black suspect.

WTF!?!?!

[drm604]

12. I don't have a link handy so I can't prove it

but I saw an earlier article with a picture of that man running. It stated that he was simply one more person running away from the explosion and that he had been questioned and released.

[cilla4progress]

13. Plus, there are no photos of backpack being

set down?

[gvstn]

14. There aren't any new photos there

Those are the same photos they have been running all day.

The new photos from Lord and Taylor are supposed to be very high resolution. They have not been released yet.

[cbdo2007]

15. I thought they said he set it off by cell phone?

This dude's legs were probably on fire from having his pants ripped through and almost blown off. I think I would be running too.

[arcane1]

17. I didn't see anythiong of the sort in those photos

And certainly none of the photos appeared new.

Then again, the article is saying an arrest was made

[MaineLinePhilly]

18. Get it right instead of getting it first

An arrest made and then no arrest???!!! Dark skinned or black male and now white (because dark skinned and white are so similar)???!!!
Ridiculous. What made the Saudi national "suspcious" acting anyway?? Because he was a Saudi national I'm assuming. Racial profiling at its best. As much as Boston has been described as this wonderful city, it has a long history of racial division and just blatant racism that continues today.

Oh and the guy who was seen running away from the explosion? Umm...thats what a lot of people did. Why is that suspicious? I mean my goodness the nerve of him to run away at heightened speed. Chile...I ain't got time for this tomfoolery from the news media and their speculation. If that happens to be the guy than so be it, but his actions in terms of running away shouldn't automatically make him a suspect.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

19. Uhm... I'd vote 'NO!' base on those photos...

[Elvin Ives]

26. that man is light skin

dark hair, light skin.

[closeupready]

28. As someone says, funny how the dark-skinned man is white-skinned.

At least, from the pictures they allege and post in the article is a 'dark-skinned' man.

[City Lights]

30. They're mixing pictures from two different bomb sites.

The pics of the man in the black shirt and shorts is running from the first bomb site. You can see the flags lining the road to the finish line in the picture. The pictures of the bag/package placed on the road-side of the fencing near the garbage can or mailbox is from the second bomb site.

[onehandle]

32. DEBUNKED. Please stop posting this. The guy is a victim that has been accounted for. nt

[aquamarina]

33. That's some seriously light dark looking skin.

[dixiegrrrrl]

34. Sure is nice of the Mail to show how to build a bomb, with illustrations and everything.

sheesh.

[truebrit71]

37. My thoughts exactly...what a bunch of toolz...

...but then again, what do you expect from the Daily Heil anyway?

[lob1]

36. I don't think that backpack could've been the bomb.

If it exploded, why wasn't the mailbox/trash can demolished? It looks unscratched.

[cbdo2007]

41. maybe the thing blasted out the top/side rather than equally around the whole thing?

I've been wondering the same thing.

Just speculation, but I would guess the lid of the pressure cooker would be weaker than the rest of the device, so maybe it exploded out the lid mostly?? Not sure.
